Why I hardly ever see pedestrians there?
Why is it that I never seem to see any pedestrians in Toowoomba? I’ve been there several times, and every time I hardly see anyone walking around. When I go into a park, suddenly there are some people, but as soon as I leave the park, they seem to disappear again.
Even when I look at the CBD on Street View, I barely see any people. When I drive through the streets, it feels almost like a ghost town. There’s something slightly unsettling about it — I wouldn’t even feel particularly comfortable walking around there alone in broad daylight.
There’s this strange chill in the air, and it’s so quiet that it almost feels eerie. There’s hardly anyone around, yet you somehow get the feeling that someone is watching you.
Ipswich actually gives me a somewhat similar feeling.
Is this purely because the population is relatively small and the city is very low-density, so there simply aren’t many people walking around?
