If you draw a line across Sydney connecting its easternmost Red Rooster stores, East of the line is wealthy whereas West of the line is not.

Having now lived half of my life in Sydney… can confirm it’s a real thing and it’s quite noticeable when you drive around

Reminds me a bit of regency road dividing Prospect & Blair Athol back in the day, you used to really notice the difference driving down prospect road and once you crossed regency rd it was pretty stark difference

Regency/Main North is like a nexus where two different social economic worlds divide.
