Same here, i live 75km from Melbourne city centre, newcomers to our town are pushing for "town houses" to be built, 2/3 houses on blocks that normally have 1, so that the town can "grow".
We do not want the town to grow like the city, that is why we are here.
But didn't it have to grow in the first place to accommodate you?
No, i moved into an established house on a quarter acre block, that has been part of the town for over 100 years. Building new houses is fine, as long as it is in keeping with how the town was built.
At the back of our place, an acre block of land was sold, normally it would have 4 new houses on it, it has 13 crammed in.
