"It was once a wonderful place to live"
When we first moved to Narangba, 30 years ago, it was a wonderful place to live.
there were always koalas and possums in our trees, beautiful parrots and many other birds were always around
we all knew each other, there were families living here who were the second generation of local pioneers...the kids played in the streets, rode their bikes and kicked their footies around after school.
unfortunately the secret got out and now the serenity has been disturbed. there is so much traffic, along with the occasional imbecilic hoons who delight in dropping rubber at the end of our road.
and of course every available piece of bush is being bulldozed for even more sub standard housing, with tiny blocks being sold and barely any trees being grown to replace those destroyed by greedy developers and councils.
as for the koalas and other native wildlife that once abounded in this area? huh, good luck with spotting one now. the poor little buggers have been just about destroyed, either eaten by dogs or run over by speeding motorists...once again, thanks to the greed of the local councils and developers and the complete lack of concern by the state government for the future of these defenceless creatures.
about the only place you'll see a koala in narangba now is on the tv!
yes, once a wonderful place to live.
now?
it's just another piece of suburbia!
Great for
- Peaceful...at night! 10 minutes to the highway.
Not great for
- Far too much traffic, difficult to get a parking space at the local train station.
Who lives here?
- Country Lovers
Or families who can only afford a smaller block? Im sure it was much nicer back then, but as investors and out of staters drive first home buyers, low income earners and young families further and further away from the city it seems quite bitter to trash a suburb because it used to be different. I think for proximity to city Narangba is a lovely suburb, I would love a bigger block and a quiet bushland experience but unfortunately for that id need to move out to Woodford or further. Thats the way the real estate world is these days. Your problem isn't with Narangba, its with the real estate landscape, and gossip? Im sorry people gossip within your specific circles, all of Narangba should suffer for it.
I completely agree, each week it goes down a little further. Hoons, crime, litter. Too many houses on too small a block..... The old Narangba was much better. I think it is fine for greedy self absorbed people who love to gossip.
