Demolition man

The interesting thing about riding to Homebush and beyond is that it takes me through suburbs that are wildly different in character. Around Concord, the bulldozers are busily flattening all the old post-war houses in preparation for new McMansions, whilst around Burwood, you can sleep soundly all weekend knowing that you will never be awoken by the sound of noisy renovators. The place is a non-improving slum.

Here is an example of a place being flattened in Concord.



I have no idea why there are some shirts still hanging up in the house. Did someone forget to clean out a cupboard before sending in the excavator?
