According to this article, you’re statistically safer living in a “dangerous” neighborhood close to work than you are living in a “safe” suburb where you have to commute. (Violent crime being much, much rarer than car accidents.) Hmmm, maybe Redfern isn’t looking so bad!
Important Note
This site features content going all the way back to 2000. The posts you’ll read reflect my views and writing style at the time. While I have gone back to clean up a few of them, I think it’s important not to sanitise too much. This site is a record of who I am and how I’ve grown. Any blog post written years ago may not reflect who I am today, nor how I would write about the same topic today.

One response to “No car, please.”
Redfern is a great place to live! I lived there for years, and it was honestly the best community – the neighbours all knew each other and chipped in to lend a hand. Our street even did the Sorry Day bridgewalk with our own banner.
