Housing policy would create a ghetto

The proposal to change population density in Woy Woy to accommodate low income housing, is a proposal to create a ghetto.

The associated social problems of this kind of development near two hotels and the leagues club, the drug issues and the pure boredom of non-working, financially disadvantaged people, is extremely scary.

Not to mention our neglected infrastructure.

We are struggling to cope now with medium density population.

This proposal may be very well intended, but the Peninsula does not want or need this kind of development.

Traditionally, we are a hard-working blue collar area.

The old housing commission areas of the past have proven what a social disaster this kind of development is.

We live in such a beautiful part of the world, our quality of life superb.

We must be so careful to maintain what we have built up over the years.

I'm not anti-development, but we must be vigilant that what we build is the kind of development that will benefit the hard-working silent majority.

Social housing is wrong for the Peninsula.

Near Woy Woy Rail Station is just madness.

Maybe Terrigal would be an ideal area.

Lots of Council money seems to be spent over there.

Just another silly idea.

Seems to be lots of silly ideas around these days.
