I'd be cut if burwood road was all gozleme
& kebab shops but it's not, all noodle houses.
Lack of diversity, burwood used to be rich
with fobs & wogs. It's all Chinese now

Chatswood the same hey

I don't like Viet bakeries

Other than the bahn mi which are amazing but the pies and stuff, from my experience are always no good.

There's a YouTuber called "site inspections", it's a building inspector documenting all the crappy workmanship in new builds.
You'd never build after watching a few of his vids.
Really entertaining.
This work is a shemozzle and non compliant!

Burwood, Strathfield and Ashfield have changed so much. Like you say new migrants are displacing previous migrants. My ex Koren GF went back she ses no future here.......it's almost like the Koreans of Strathfield are displaced by a new batch. Things were good before the pandemic but now this is a joke.

750k immigrants this year. That's around 1000 people a day in Sydney alone. I talk to some of them.....they ask me how we afford to live here because they are battling to survive.

They bring them out straight into poverty and use them. Nearly whatever they make goes to college courses, immigration lawyers and fees rent and food and many still don't have residency here after 10 years. Probably the government preferred they leave after 10 years or so, so they are entitled to nothing. As for us locals, we are dragged down with them.

There is little diversity now. One struggles to find Western shops or even a Cafe. Groceries are becoming a problem unless your happy with frozen.

Notice now pubs and clubs are slowly dying out. Who will go? The new arrivals aren't into these things as much even if they could afford them. Things were busier night life wise in the late 80s. Can see cricket staying very popular due to the migration from the subcontinent but RL may not be a majority sport in Sydney in the future.

When migration is slower you get the new arrivals retaining their culture and adopting some of ours. There is a mutual respect and diversity but with such a flood whole areas become one culture and they feel just like home in a way.....and don't adopt much while we feel like outsiders in our own suburb.

Trouble is they are too expensive and if someone buys and they have issues, it's not like a house where you can do much yourself.

And just when you think you've paid it off and retired the building may be condemned.

Ashfield a massive dive now.

Most of the shops on Liverpool Rd look like monthly tenancies now, or vacant.

Dad lived there in 1955 when he came out. Says it was busier then with loads of cafes, milk bars restaurants and 2 cinemas. He says standard of living was loads better then.

Many Chinese pay cash, straight from home. They send their kids to study here and get it in that way. Not like they take out a mortgage.

I suppose if there is a war with China they don't know who owns what. That's why they move their money here. There is no registry.

Get outside Burwood. You sound like the bubble you live in is really getting you down. Flemington/Homebush West gets me down sometimes too.

I have lived in Sydney my entire life and have a direct involvement with my community. Do not tell me I'm not from here.

Burwood to Ashfield is what, 3km? Oh no, you've got to go to the next suburb for a Viet bakery and a butcher. There's one there on Hercules Street (bery average banh mi) in Ashfield and true, there was one just up from it, on Liverpool Road, but they closed once the new apartment blocks were built around 2018.

There are two butchers around that area of Ashfield too, my preferred is 'B for Butcher'.

Further west of Burwood I guess the next Viet bakery is Flamin Roll. That is a classic and Vicky there is a champ. There are two butchers in Flemington too plus everyone at the friggin Markets. The bakery in Homebush is European and has never been Viet from what I can remember.

Finally, and for [This word has been automatically removed]'s sake, let's not pretend like people weren't taking cash in hand back in the 50s. My grandparent's owned one of the first European deli's in Newcastle and defo cut corners if it helped them.

Go have a sook to the ATO and police if you have an issue with your community.

Great, now this thread has turned into bakeries and butchers. Come back Brooks, all is forgiven, we have nothing left to complain about.

Right, before it was all dagos and they looked like Aussies, so it didn't feel so scary.

It's not scary dimwit. Aussies are like aliens
out here, hard to spot. Whenever I see a
white person here I want to ask them if
they're lost lol. It's not about some immigrants
replacing others, or bakeries & butchers -
more to do with how we sold everything.

That's where you went wrong.
Only one way of thinking and feeling is acceptable in this wonderful new world.
All other thoughts and feelings will be confiscated.

Possibly.
I was thinking something worse but that’s probably accurate.

Know him well.

Development goes above Burwood council.....straight to NSW govt. Population is planned to triple in Burwood in 20 years. Think Hornsby for template. Like we need the numbers.....it was buzzing and thriving in the 70s phark.

So it will be different again .


For a decent butcher try combo butcher/ fish shop( I know not the best) behind Burwood Pl leading to Belmore st. Ask for stuff they sell at clubs. But really Ashfield mall has Woolies/Coles and a good butcher.

But for everything go Roselands.

And it is pertaining to this thread with demographic changes in Wests Tigers area.
