I may be riding atop the (ahem) elephant in the room but this vid (albeit interesting) struck me as another example of the human tendancy to "perform" for the camera in even the most mundane of scenarios.

Cudos to the sliding wall but huge TVs and home theatres? Bed-Sty the burbs is not. Careful out there!

I've taken a bike ride through that whole complex and it's truly astonishing. There are these GINORMOUS structures that I believe were used for the construction and repair of battleships. The area by the hospital is totally gorgeous and it's a real shame that it's just a wasteland. Would be nice if the rest of us Broolynites could enjoy it.

That silo building in the background of the first picture is a little design house, its generous tenants offered up their wide riverside expanse to an event late last summer. Shame to see that area be soaked up by more godaweful Toll Brothers uninspired shitboxes.
