Fill this space

Inner-Sydney real estate is at a premium, which is why this huge hole in the ground fascinates me:


At the corner of Riley and Albion Streets in Surry Hills, it's been like this for years; continuous rain has turned it into a filthy swimming pool for the adventurous.
I presume it's being held aside for yet another stack of highly expensive squash courts masquerading as lifestyle investments, which will undoubtedly be sold with the lure of 'Manhattan-style views'.
Much like the promise that the windswept wasteland of William Street will become a 'Parisian boulevard', this remains dubious.

I particularly like the futile anger of the 'for all cop haters' grafitti - where hardly anyone can see it.
