Is Brisbane losing it's unique character ?

I note a recent blog article by Rupert McCall titled "Selling Queensland's Heritage" in which he talks about overdevelopment in inner suburban Paddington.

While I agree with these sentiments, I'd just like to point out that while Rupert says "It doesn't happen in Melbourne", I'm not sure why he used Melbourne as an example. Although many of the commentors on his post, many of which I assume are expatriate Victorians (as is much of Queensland's population these days), tend to agree this is probably more to do with Melbourne having substantially more heritage buildings than Brisbane than the overall prevailing attitudes of the public or developers. In fact the opposite is actually evidenced by the articles in my other blog Melbourne Heritage Watch.
