Benefits can be detected by those who look into it intensively

Leaving a residence empty during the daylight hours is an intolerable waste of resources and amenity.

The plan to house an extra million people along Melbourne tram routes will involve inconvenience to Docklands residents, but our study warns that obvious benefits can be detected by those who look into it intensively.

Implementation of the density scheme by providing accommodation to those enjoying the nocturnal lifestyle will instantly double the residential capacity of apartments without expanding precinct boundaries, thereby providing an analogous interpolation for consideration by planners.

However, only a few of the residents we have interviewed have embraced the plan with sprinkling tears of joy.  Some sceptical sorts have raised the questionable spectre of an increase in domestic expenses, such as of bathroom tissue.

The proposal, of course, is most seductive to those who will benefit from the saving in time and fares for not having to travel each day to their far away abodes. 

The early morning swarming swirling herding hordes that emerge from city bars, nightclubs and like venues will have merely to traverse the overpasses and go to allocated residences.  The residents who have spent the night in their apartments will depart and embark toward their gainful employment, and this process will repeat in the next reciprocating evening.

There might be minor difficulties to resolve and we envisage arguments over the requisite washing of bedclothes, but surely it can be said that those who have strived hard enough in life to reward themselves with ownership of an apartment are the very same people who have empathy with the notion that leaving a residence empty during the daylight hours is an intolerable waste of resources and amenity.
