@ajsadauskas@sydney if the story is about house prices or cost of living: Sydney’s north. If the story is about gangs, drugs, shootings, or unemployment: Sydney’s South West. Everywhere can be Sydney’s South West if you truely believe.
On Google Maps, if you search South Ryde it will display an area with a border south of North Ryde. I don't know the area that well and have no idea if that's what the locals consider to be South Ryde. I've always thought of Ryde as just it's own thing.
