Don't you have regular drive buy shootings in Sydney? They're pretty rare in Adelaide.
Sydney is way better. It rains so much in Melbourne that you may as well be living in the UK.

According to one list that's very anglo-centric* Others rank Vienna or Tokyo as the most livable city in the world, if you live in one of the top 50 cities it's probably just preference
Did we seriously get fifth? Adelaide is so... bland? [editline]18th August 2015[/editline] Like it's not bad it's just really boring here.
[QUOTE=antonibell;48484660]Sydney's 7th, but of the top 10 it has the lowest 'Stability' at 90, compared to Melbourne, Adelaide and Perth's 95. I'm curious as to why. Do we just suffer more from road rage or something?[/QUOTE] It probably had something to do with the Lindt cafe incident. I love Melbourne (I live in Brisbane), and would live there, except the weather is a huge turn off. Life's also a lot less rushed in Brisbane, but still with things to do. Everyone's got a good reason to be living somewhere.

I remember when Brisbane was up there a while back. How we have fallen from grace ahahahha
I'm surprised Amsterdam isn't higher. God bless your infrastructure.
I stopped taking this list seriously when I saw vancouver on there. I guess they don't take into consideration real estate cost?

"Perhaps the EIU should survey the growing number of people sleeping rough on Melbourne's streets about how liveable they find the city in the midst of winter," Emma King, VCOSS chief executive said. "A growing body of evidence paints a starkly different picture of our community. "Over the coming decade we need to fit millions more people into Victoria with the state's population set to boom. "We cannot merely keep expanding Melbourne's fringe without increasing jobs, infrastructure and services there."[/quote]
So basically living in cities that almost requires you to be rich because everything is so expensive are good to live in? Who would have thought. Both Vancouver and Toronto requires you to be really well off if you don't want to live in a single bedroom with a rent of like 1200$/month or something. Vancouver is even worse, the cost of houses are ridiculous.
Nobody said it? Nobody? Alright, I'll fucking do it. Why is a city in Australia, the continent where [I]everything is trying to kill you[/I], voted the most livable?

Pfft. Sydney will always be glorious!

From my experience in Melbourne, every corner I turn there's a waffle shop. I fucking love waffles. Therefore number 1.

If we get bitten by a venomous spider, we get the ability to shoot web from our wrists and obtain superhuman strength
I wanna go to Straya, damnit Any Strayans looking for a roommate that cleans and cooks like a '50s housewife high on quaaludes? :D
It's far better along the outskirts of Melbourne than in the city.
Ayyy Adelaide is ranked 5th! Avoid Elizabeth/Alberton/Pretty much North of Adelaide and you're fine. I do live near Melbourne and the public transport is a mess half the time (constantly NOT on time, random stops being cancelled, train stopping due to issues etc). Sydney is a hole.
It's kind of like the New York of Australia.
[QUOTE=Tobin;48492672]It's far better along the outskirts of Melbourne than in the city.[/QUOTE] depends what you mean by outskirts. i'd probably neck myself within a week if i had to live somewhere like melton.
