My parents moved our family to Forestdale over 10 years ago and at first it was pretty good. The suburb is mostly full of retirees or families with young adult children. It’s very green and they take a lot of pride in the parklands, but there’s no public transport access, no walkability, really poor internet and neighbours are extremely catty and not very friendly.

There’s also a Facebook page where people ‘report’ about suspicious activity, everyone in this suburb seems to be paranoid and nosy. My friend picked me up once and stopped outside my house, his car made it onto the page because he ‘suspiciously stopped outside a house and was playing music in his car’.

There used to be a corner store with a cafe and a few other stores and once that went, I think this suburb really started to go downhill.
