A group of foreign property investors visiting Australia say they quite like the affordable, understated use of blue lights outside inner-city apartment buildings.
Robbie* (name-changed), who represents one of the 13,823,233 people that make up his home country’s richest one percent, says that buying up metropolitan properties and forcing Australian families to live 100 kilometres from the CBD has never looked so good.
“I really like the lights in the fire exits and back driveway access. It adds to this area’s sense of affluence. It is quite stylish” he said.
Another investor, Sharon* (name changed) says hopefully it keeps the maintenance costs down while they wait for the empty property to triple in value over the next 18 months.
“When I return home, I won’t be coming back here. So it’s good to know the lights will be able to stay on until we flip it”
“I was told this area is mostly made up of young Australian-born families, so these blue lights kind of match the vibrancy of the area”
The Betoota Advocate has kept the nationalities of these particular land-bankers anonymous, so as to avoid accusations of racism from left-wing social commentators who can’t decide whether they hate the property bubble more than they hate vague sentiments of xenophobia being directed towards foreign billionaires.
