What's with these sandbag accounts?

We have two users, one named 'lanewaysandbag' and the other is 'sandbaglaneway.' One is overly concerned with a bike riding Councillor, and the other overly concerned about bike lanes in the cbd.

Then we have a new creepy stalker sub https://www.reddit.com/r/findRyanPosselt/ which is also littered with names containing 'sandbag,' and is heavy on the right wing spice palette.

It's probably nothing.

Man with zero care for others runs on platform of being reasonable.

If you've ever worked in hospo, you know how little this guy cares about reasonable communication. I don't even think he likes Hobart enough to even know what's going on. Love that pulse went back 20 years for the photo. Should be great. Anyway, the conservative mods can delete this now.

NOTE: This article paints him as a moderate. He is not. He is super conservative. A rich and entitled man who treats everyday people like peasants. Very small distance between this guy and an Abetz or Barnett

How do we feel about having higher rise buildings in Hobart?

I just started watching tonight's Hobart City council meeting. Not 20 minutes in there has been multiple questions from members of the public concerning the nature of a previous workshop on high rise zoning conditions in Hobart, and what that means for heritage and the like.

I thought I'd make a post to see what the sentiment in this room is regarding building taller buildings in Hobart. Do you think it's something we should be considering for the sake of expanded housing and accommodation options, or do you think there are other ways to approach these kinds of societal concerns without building up further? Is it about working with developers to more effectively execute the current planning scheme, or is the only reality to go higher? What are the issues and benefits you foresee?

I myself am currently for building higher. Nothing too obscene but I do believe we are underutilising the spatial potential of Hobart. Of course there are trade-offs, and there will be challenges about where they are able to be built or not (which I have gleaned was the issue discussed as this previous workshop). We aren't somewhere like Paris that can build highrises on the outskirts in order to preserve heritage (well, Haussman's relatively recent heritage). Even if we managed to do that I'm not sure how satisfactory Parisians find such an arrangement.

Anyhoo, what you all reckon?

Thanks for reading.
