Particularly in the provocative use of the words 'women's boobs', to draw in readers. As a woman, I find this highly insulting and degrading. Although brief mention is made of the male torso, it is given token reference, in a scanty attempt to balance the clear insult rendered to women. There is no attempt at any stage in the article, to address the issue of suburbanisation analytically. Similar to how David McWilliams handles most issues on his daytime programme and on Questions and Answers the other night, it is in terms of descriptive soundbites, rather than presenting a set of ideas through which we might understand or challenge social issues occurring as a result of suburbanisation. I would like a response from David McWilliams, given that I have taken the time to email to this article with a comment (as invited). I have just read this article, and am absolutely disgusted
