I was born and bred in Sydney. And all my life I have been proud of that fact. But recently, I have been noticing a pattern. I don't know where it is coming from, but maybe its been 10 years of Sydney arrogance, and thinking we are a great city to live in. Traffic has become horrendous, and the roads are degrading.
