Talk:Brisbane, California

Untitled
It would be nice to mention how the name of the city should be pronounced. I'm assuming that should be pronounced BRIZ-b'n, same as the city of Brisbane, Australia, but can someone confirm this? Andyabides 00:46, 13 Dec 2004 (UTC)


 * Nope, not around here (Bay Area): Briz-bane for us. We ain't aussies. (Can't speak for the Aussies among us, though.) --ILike2BeAnonymous 19:02, 17 March 2006 (UTC)

Brisbane has a notorious police force. It is almost guaranteed that if you work in the large Sierra Point Office Park you will be pulled over at least once. The officer to population ratio is probably one of the highest in the country and the police have a very large presence in the Sierra Point Office Park and downtown Brisbane. Needless to say, there is very little crime, and the worst offenses are typically carried out by four legged creatures.

Police presence? Nah
The Police force in Brisbane only seems huge in the industrial park because that is where ALL of the tickets are handed out. There are typically only 2 police cruisers on duty at any one time. That would be one for every 1750 citizens... that's not a very high density. If you applied that to San Franciso it would mean there would be only about 400-500 police officers on duty. There are thousands.

Name
What is the origin of Brisbane Cal? Who is it named after? Alan Davidson 01:51, 4 October 2007 (UTC)
 * I found it. According to the daughter of Arthus Annis' daughter it was named after the city Bribane Australia.  Annis gave Brisbane its name in the 1920s. Alan Davidson 02:20, 4 October 2007 (UTC)

Sister Cities
Getting a bit of a conflict here. According to the Brisbane, Australia article, the two Brisbanes' status as sister cities is now defunct. Anyone know how to check up on this?

Ratio of water
This seems to say the lagoon is 17 square miles, and that is 84% of the area. This is clearly way off. Google maps shows that the lagoon is a small percentage of Brisbane, maybe 10%. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:645:8103:6021:49D3:C92A:58D8:A4DB (talk) 18:50, 15 August 2019 (UTC)
