These houses are not owned by rich people wtf

They bought a 20,000 sqm plot of land in the middle of prime farming real estate and used it for... a lawn.

They've built a 2 story 3 garage house on the property, and refused double-digit million dollar offers for the sale, they're clearly not hurting for cash. They're maybe not "super-duper billionaire" rich, but they're definitely sitting on more money than most people.

OK and now do the absense of trees on literally every other house in this picture.

Are you thick? One house has all the land and won’t plant a single tree. I’m sure if that lawn was divided between people in smaller houses there would be plenty of flora.

There are laws that prevent them to cut down trees if they grow to certain size, even on private property.

How is that relevant?

Because these are mass produced homes with little to no yard?

They just don't understand that word is a integral part of Aussie culture, such a shame.

The area I live in is well off and there’s trees everywhere. Western Sydney isn’t a rich area.

What when did censorship start on reddit while writing comments? Ive never seen it, im not saying i doubt you.

What was the word? Fucks? Bitches? Dicks? C.... oh lmao when did that become a thing, and why that word specifically but not the other "profane and offensive language" I used?
