Ugly Sydney

Sydney gets good press from the harbour, Bondi beach and the Opera House, but after that, there are many reasons to screw your eyes tight shut.
Earlier Prime Minister Paul Keating complained that State and Council governments' planning policies had created some of the "most gormless buildings … in our history" and robbed Sydney's grandest stone and brick buildings of their dignity."
Examples of exisiting scars and warts are

• Cantebury road, squat, with its small business desolation.
• Blues Point Tower, protruding like a middle finger rampant.
• Winter shadows in the city, tall buildings blocking any remnants of direct sun.
• Lots of brutalist buildings, like the UTS tower
• Traffic jams, morning noon and night
• Late night drinkers spilling onto the roadways
• 19th century telegraph poles, a blight on the roadscape
