The city is becoming sicker, by the day, from top to bottom. Why don't you consider a move to the freedom of county living. Southern Highlands is beautiful if you don't mind a cooler climate. Everything you'd ever need is here and only a couple of hours drive from Sydney or an hour and a half by train.
I used to keep a horse at the Showground. Riding around the track some drunken hoons threw a bottle at us from their car and the horse went crazy. I fell very hard. The hoons just went on their merry way and the horse bolted in the direction of the showground. Fortunately he was caught at the gates and taken back to the stables by some other riders. My hip has never been quite the same since, despite x-rays that evening giving the all clear, plus lost a 21st birthday earring which wasn't a cheapie.
