The Adelaide City Council is increasing the hight restrictions for the CBD. It wants the provincal city to look modern. New York is the still model of what being modern means.

Being modern in Adelaide means a car dominated city (good for business) and a polite indifference to the needs of people living in the inner city.
Urban life is changing in Australian cities. This report says:
For the cost of putting a baby born in 2006 through private schooling, parents could pay off a mortgage on a two-bedroom suburban Sydney flat....Add a three-year stint at university, totalling $140,000, and the costs blow out to $430,000.
I reckon that's cheap. What if it's a doctors degree? Or an MA? Hell, many people in Sydney cannot afford to own a two-bedroom suburban flat.
