West Sydney was rural fields until it was developed during the later half of the 20th century I’m fairly sure the issue stems from insanely dense urban packing with a refusal to develop almost anything other than single family homes They try to maximise house size on small blocks leading to an almost impossible block to plant a tree on ——— Also pointing out Greater Western Sydney is one of the worst urban places in the world for tree cover given the climate I could never afford to live in Sydney, but my late father’s upbringing in the then “poor” North Sydney is starkly different to the quality of life available to the youth in “poor” areas of 21st century Sydney
