I live in one of these fully integrated communities and the only thing that is integrated about it is the lack of any facilities, which is fully integrated across the community.
-
As always with Utopia, I can no longer tell if these tears rolling down my face are from laughter or despair.
-
It is amazing how big companies can clear entire swathes of bushland but an individual can't cut 1 tree down without numerous permits & fees.
-
It's also great how these ahh... 'Fully Integrated Communities' have one intersection connecting them to a main road so there's a perpetual queue of cars backed up every morning
-
They say that violence doesn't solve anything, but after watching this clip I'm getting an irresistible urge to slap 3 out of the 4 characters from this clip
-
Utopia has to be one of the best shows on the disfunctionality of Government. It’s just brilliant.
-
This could win the award for best documentary.
-
It's a re-enactment of real Australia.
-
Laughing in the train and would keep laughing…. Down the track😁😁😁
-
"Down the Track" You'll be walking down the Track for 20 years 😂
-
Well-written and acted with superb comic-timing. Love these!
-
Don't know anything about this show, but I do love that the title reads as "When Property Developers Want To Build Utopia"
-
Exposing the greatest and most prolific Ponzie Scheme in history, that continues to this day, and will continue well into the future.
-
The UK media and developers constantly whine about planning laws stopping delivery of housing, but those laws exists for the reasons picked out in this video. In the South East, we have had a boom in housing, but no more schools, hospitals or roads with promises they will be built, which is at best 10 years after the houses are occupied.

"Down the track....."
-
If the airport isn’t getting public transport, your new housing estate is lucky to get a bus
-
haha honestly. just shake my head. what can you do. thats all they build now. Clear a load of bush, build single family homes in cul de sacs with no shops or amenities, no transport options so everyone has to buy a car just to be able to buy a loaf of bread. rinse and repeat.
-
This show is perfect, because it is true.😂😂

You have to laugh or you'll cry. Doesn't matter if it is bushland full of wildlife, or lush green productive farmland, apparently it all needs to make way for thousands of McMansions on 400 square metre blocks. Isn't progress wonderful?
