Sydney’s plan to split into three cities in as little as 20 years
As a Sydneysider, I see it as the state government giving up, and trying to sell their ineptitude as a good thing.  Successive governments have botched transport to the point where it is no longer possible to commute between large sections of Sydney. For years now, I&#x27;ve had to accept that the locations of my potential employment are limited within Sydney, if I want to have any waking time overlapping with the rest of my family.  Now we are being told that it&#x27;s our own silly fault for expecting that if we live in Sydney then we can have a job in Sydney.<p>I&#x27;m guessing that this declaration will have little real effect.  The government will try to create new job centres out of Parramatta and Liverpool, as they have been for decades, but the new efforts will he just as effective as the old and people will continue to commute to the CBD and North Sydney arc, where a big chunk of the jobs will remain.<p>It&#x27;s not a world leading bit of town planning, but the results of poor planning.
