I live there and it's fine? Green spaces. Community library/basketball/soccer/netball/whatever courts. Movies. Supermarkets. Shops. Quiet. Free PT to CBD. Not sure what you want to walk out onto the street to but this sounds like a reverberation of generic potentially outdated opinions about the place. I'd say the only thing it lacks these days are night spots. There's 1 or 2 around but it's not like it used to be with the clubs and pub on central pier.

Plastic fantastic
They should rename it Little Sydney
Ouch.
If you love the water it's a lovely place. 🙂
Not if you want to actually swim in the water
What if I want to pee in it?
Hey, that's not fair. They have an abandoned oversized ferris wheel, and a shopping centre you could hijack the speakers in and play Hey There Delilah on at 2:38pm and get the same vibes as that YouTube video from a few years ago. Wouldn't even need to wait until 2:30am! And the best part? Literally nobody would even notice
