“Where the hell do I park?”

<p>Lakemba is a suburb in Sydney&rsquo;s South West and is filled with a bustling community of a variety of cultures.&nbsp;<a href="http://www.theaustralian.com.au/life/weekend-australian-magazine/between-two-worlds/news-story/2428e0455638f816738e372a8bd4419e?nk=338509766885cbbf608533033039fbf9-1496127068" rel="noopener ugc nofollow" target="_blank">Lakemba is Australia&rsquo;s unofficial Muslim capital.</a>&nbsp;According to the<a href="http://lakemba.localstats.com.au/demographics/nsw/sydney/canterbury-bankstown/lakemba" rel="noopener ugc nofollow" target="_blank"><strong>&nbsp;</strong>2011 census</a>,<strong>&nbsp;</strong>the religious makeup of Lakemba is 51.8% Islam. This southwest Sydney suburb is jam-packed with just about every amenity needed for a decent standard of living. It has five primary schools and over ten medical centers in the area which really gives it a safe space for any family. Lakemba has been described as &ldquo;a mixed plate of hummus, garlic, falafel, tabbouleh, chicken and beef skewers with a side of french fries&rdquo; seeing how&nbsp;<a href="http://lakemba.localstats.com.au/demographics/nsw/sydney/canterbury-bankstown/lakemba" rel="noopener ugc nofollow" target="_blank">18.2% of people living in Lakemba speak Arabic</a><strong>.&nbsp;</strong>If you take a stroll towards the night life on Haldon Street, you can witness a sleepless kilometer of cafes, hair salons, Halal butchers, kebab shops, bakeries, supermarkets, bookstores, restaurants and a pub nobody drinks in. Although it may seem that this local community has it all, I&rsquo;ve noticed that there is still one thing missing and it&rsquo;s almost always overlooked, and that is a damn car park.</p> <p><a href="https://medium.com/@iqwansalim19/where-the-hell-do-i-park-a8472f3638cc"><strong>Read More</strong></a></p>
