The shift in the demographic destroyed the area. Everyone knows that.

Who used to live there? I remember Fairfield was a lot of Eastern Europeans vaguely.

You keep posting this with zero accompanying analysis.

From what I can see, SOME regional music festivals are not getting the patronage and cancelling. Over to you.

Dubai under water

That place has the worst drainage. Even a couple hours of rain creates puddles you can lose a car in.

It’s so sad. As we’ve discussed before one of my best mates grew up in Wakeley and I have fond memories of the area in the 80’s and early 90’s. Early in my career I also worked around there and started noticing the demise of the area by the late 90’s.

It will never be the same.

what happened to it ?

in the article you provide the proprietor blames the economy and rising costs,

there is zero evidence or mention in that article that this is due to lockdowns

What do you think caused rising costs?
Lockdowns ffs.

I'm no economist and don't pretend to be, if I was gonna have a stab I'd say the risings costs due to inlation, it seems to be the common thread in the 2 articles that you have provided

Lockdowns ffs.

do you have any evidence or source for this ? I'd be keen to see it

these small events may be more affected by the economy than the likes of Good Things, Knottfest, WomAdelaide and most recently, Blues and Roots which have all done well this year

Google it. There's hundreds of articles on this

We’re struggling with inflation because we misread the pandemic

We must understand what we got wrong in dealing with the COVID-19 pandemic so we don’t compound our errors.

I don't have to google it, you are the one making the allegations

the article you provide makes no mention of music festivals and why some of the smaller ones are struggling to attract crowds

there is no doubt that the whole covid thingy and lockdowns may have affected our economy but you have provided no evidence to link any of this to those smaller festivals to which you have referred

Yep, stopping merkins from producing stuff while giving them free money to keep consuming stuff means there is less stuff with the same amount of demand.
