community spirit

Crime seems to be prominently reported in the media recently and with the focus on the city remaining the old "business as usual" it makes how wonder how you can have "Famous for fun" and not expect this sort of outcome? ...

Well assuming you are't some sort of tea-totalling religious prude who is "shocked" when people are uncouth... This is exactly why long term locals don't see much good in the push to encourage "Party Party Party come to the coast and let your hair down".

Discussion focuses on responding to the shooting of a police officer by "building a community", so I ask how can you build a community in a place where transience is high and people do not live and work anywhere near the same locations.

The Gold Coast maybe a huge city, but there is a case to argue that we are becoming a satellite suburb for Brisbane.
