Where I live is similar in its beach-day-out relationship to the west of Sydney, but there's been a startling spike in real estate values driven by central Sydneysiders who can't afford to live in Sydney. So now all the little stores sell cushions and homewares and the cafes that used to sell milkshakes have espresso machines and baristas, and the local supermarkets have sourdough and organic toothpaste.

Local kids will never grow up to buy a house here.
