巴丁顿(Paddington),布里斯班(Brisbane)正在失去其工人阶级的多样化身份,因为奢侈品的发展将中位家庭价格推向240万美元。 Paddington, Brisbane, is losing its working-class, diverse identity as luxury developments push median home prices to $2.4 million.

Paddington是布里斯班郊区的一个曾经以工人阶级根基和艺术界而闻名的郊区,由于奢侈品翻新和高端发展,正在迅速转变,将中位房价提高到240万美元。 Paddington, a Brisbane suburb once known for its working-class roots and artistic community, is rapidly transforming due to luxury renovations and high-end developments, driving median house prices to $2.4 million. 长期居民说,从经济适用住房和面向社区的生活向排他性转变已经侵蚀了该地区的多样化、平等性,历史小屋被大型住宅取代,共用大门和对邻居财产的侵占。 Longtime residents say the shift from affordable housing and community-oriented living to exclusivity has eroded the area’s diverse, egalitarian character, with historic cottages replaced by large homes, shared access gates, and encroachments on neighbors’ property. 虽然一些文化里程碑仍然存在,但许多原始场所已经关闭,费用上涨使得低收入和年轻居民难以留下,象征着郊区包容性身份的更广泛丧失。 While some cultural landmarks remain, many original venues have closed, and rising costs have made it difficult for lower-income and younger residents to stay, symbolizing a broader loss of the suburb’s inclusive identity.
