What a load of rubbish. As someone who grew up on the southside, I say your views are out of touch. People don't feel that way at all, because the people who live in these areas of Logan are more often than not immigrants who are just happy to be living in a nice city. Ipswich, is the same but with young families that can actually afford to buy a house/property and live the Australian dream without going broke.
Both areas are entrenched with rugby league, both have produced some of this countries greatest players.. Smith, Walters bros, Langer. The cities have changed, I know because I worked on alot of projects in both of them in the last decade. Their councils have worked over time to clean them up, Ipswich has gone from one f the most crime ridden cities when I was a kid to one of the better cities with minimal crime now a days. Logan is much the same but not quite there. Matter of fact southside Brisbane, would associate with either region. What is southside in your view anyways? Richer suburbs like Carindale? Or the hard working ones like Acacia Ridge? Because the difference between suburbs as mentioned is fairly large, northside for the most part is fairly even in a social economic scope besides the outer ones of course like Braken Ridge Carseldine etc.
Ipswich will keep growing, it'll keep getting bigger and with that business will move in. Business will mean sponsorship potential, tht will mean money and revenue and eventually with enough sway a Titan esque stadium can be built in Springfield. Which is close enough to Logan via motorway and in Ipswich.
