Have you thought about people living that far is because they simply can't afford 600k for a fixer upper?

There's benefits living in the inner city too, such as lower costs of gas and other available transportation options. Also, you can find properties in the inner city for well below $600k. Not everyone needs, or desires, a big house with a big yard and a white picket fence. I don't need a backyard when I've got Princes Island Park and Edworthy so close, which is better than a backyard anyways. But I digress.
As for the bridge, lol.... that's been beaten to death. If you want to complain about a highly used bridge that cost pennies compared to other infrastructure projects that the majority of the city won't regularly use, then be my guest.
