All about money and greed

Reading your paper’s article by Michael Shreenan about changing Redfern into the next “Paddington” (SSH February 2012), I agree there are lots of Redfern residents who cannot afford the increases that will probably happen if more yuppies move into the area. I can see the slight changes in Redfern Street, and while this may be good to a certain degree, I do not like the changes that are going on in the inner west. I have lived here for the past 28 years and have seen changes happening in Newtown / Enmore / Erskineville / St Peters, etc. House prices through the roof that could have once been purchased for a song. Now, groovy cafes on every corner. I know this is progress but to me it is a shame we are losing “the good ole days”. It is all about money and greed.
