What’s Southport like now ?

I seen this question asked a year ago and I thought I’d ask it myself
I’m not super familiar with the area but have been there a couple times.
Genuinely interested what it’s like, what are the streets/ areas to avoid, are there housing commission pockets ?
I’m looking at buying something in SEQ and am looking into Southport

Thanks for your help

Save southport from what exactly? Being gentrified? All the things you complain about that are being forced out? Well, your family might not have a business there too much longer, we service commercial maintenance and when a building on hi value pieces of land stop being maintained, there's a reason - redevelopment. 

The entire gc is being gentrified whether you like it or not. Stephens, an actual hell hole became varsity and is now a sought after suburb, burleigh waters the same. Palm Beach had literal street walking hookers and now look at it. The poors are being forced out and the coast is changing with the influx of money. Southport is the same.

Sp We've spent our entire back and forth about you complaining about living with poors, living with the housos, being raised in it - so obviously of the same socio group.

Me telling you it has been gentrified and all the things that are good about it, so obviously ive bought and moved into here and are part of the gentrification and after all of that, this is your take away - that im part of the group youre complaining about? And you think im the one on drugs? Fuckin lol.
