I've lived in Brisbane a total of 16 years too, Perth ATM.

I quite like the city and the coasts all for different reasons. It's Hell on wheels for my particular job however. Could possibly retire there when I'm ready, if I don't p1ss off overseas.

I do think that the years of leftist rule and resulting brutalism hasn't really done it a lot of favours though... personal opinion.
All the horse people have gone west, Karalee, Ipswich, Fernvale, Murgon, Toowoomba and some equestrian uppities in the Kenmore area but still good in terms of traffic in the outer suburbs.

We were in Moggill but out past Ipswich is blazingly hot and subject to violent storms... And English almost like a second language.

Toowoomba pleasant enough but suffers the same cultural maladies of Perth in my opinion... A flea circus.
 
not like the Ukraine , the Soviet built the building to survive substantial damage , some of ours vibrate to death from the activities in the under-ground parking ( and corner-cutting construction ) oh wait didn't we have an era of falling/exploding windows
The ones in the Ukraine vibrate also but not from cars driving round in the underground car park

Brookfield and Pullenvale are still large blocks with horse owners. Gentrification has hit Toowoomba in the last 20 years, it's most likely half of the flea circus it once was. There are some decent horse stables blocks around the Gold Coast hinterland also.
 
at first i was a little surprised to see Adelaide top Brisbane but then they have been hyping Brisbane for a while , so Adelaide catching up isn't so mad ( if you need to be in a city Adelaide has it's charms )

maybe there will be a flood of Kiwis to come to the rescue of Hobart ( and flee the official recession there in NZ )
 
And as a comparison, Perth has not suffered Soviet style brutalism, but it has suffered from an Orwellian Style psychological lobotomy.

Culture in this city is absolutely sclerotic, the plebeians trained, much like a flea circus into a very confined box of behaviors and attitudes.... personal opinion.
The central part is bustling, but the east and west parts of perth are near dead zones

Nothing like Brisbane however.

Don't get me wrong, Perth is a reasonably nice place, but when popular pubs are nearly deserted by 8:30, you know there has been some covert social engineering AKA a flea circus. Dammit, in the old days they used to have to kick us all out at closing time.

Yes Bill Hassell and the storm troopers, I mean the RTA, put an end to that big time. :xyxthumbs

Now the only pubs with people in them after 8:30, are ones that are within walking distance of a populated area, but a lot of them closed because they adjusted their prices up when FIFO became popular. 😂
The local I use changed hands recently and the new owner put the prices up to $11 a pint, well that didn't work well, he's back to $8.50 now. 🥳
 
An interesting article from the ABC, they are starting to get better at this, no fluff just facts.
They are getting back to what they did best, present information,rather than opinions. :xyxthumbs

 
I thought this was going on, and then they cry to the world that they couldn't afford housing.


Outrage as young Aussie spends $50,000 'house deposit' on Europe trip: 'No regrets'


The then-20-year-old visited 17 countries when she had time off from her summer camp job. She spent upwards of $50,000 on the experience, and while some might baulk at a price tag that high, Smith said she "would do it again in a heartbeat".

When she shared the amount she forked out online, many were shocked.
A study from InsureandGo found young Aussies like Smith found the property market completely out of reach. The data revealed 71 per cent of Aussies under 30 would rather travel than buy a house in the next 12 months.

That dropped to 65 per cent for people aged 31-50 and only 51 per cent for Aussies aged over 50.

I laugh at the ones with ink all over their body, telling me how hard it is to save for a deposit.

Slowly but steady, the communists are creeping in

We've reached the stage of disillusionment. If there's no realistic prospect of success then why waste time trying?

The next stage and the one that'll sink the ship will be when they decide there's no point working. :2twocents
