What does Melbourne have too much of?

Just for a bit of fun… what do you think Melbourne has too much of? It’s something we’ve discussed on our Twitter profile before and it always get a pretty passionate reaction, so we’re curious…

Some of the most common complaints we hear are that there’s too many hipsters (funnily enough, usually from folks living in the inner north), public transport that simply isn’t up to scratch, less than average taxi drivers, bad tattoos and bad drivers.

We all know there’s too much Myki in this town, too. Oh, Myki.

On a more serious note, some people have expressed concerns that Melbourne is really in danger of overcrowding in all the wrong areas.

What do you think Melbourne has too much of? Sound off in the comments below.

Sites like this one which invite mainly uninformed surface comment rather than a considered investigation of what has made Melbourne, Melbourne and what continues to do so.

To many taxi owners and investors that do not care about the service that is supplied.

Too many people. Infrastructure can’t keep up, chronic housing affordability problems, poor public transport system and slow commute times.

Those sad sepia photos in the city framed by the council to show what used to be there and was since ripped down.
