    Compared to Sydney, the driving time to get to places in Perth is absolutely nothing! I agree that it's definitely very clean in comparison to many places, and the proximity to the beach is fantastic. For me the low population density is a plus - it's nice to have a bit of peace! The distance from the rest of the world (plus ski fields) is definitely a con though.

Yes there are more cafes and tall buildings in Melbourne, however Perth has changed a great deal in the past few years, the entire CBD has been upgraded to a brand new city with tall office buildings and hotels like Ritz Carlton Towers, there are also many trendy apartments, it is no longer an inward looking provincial city you thought. The metro system in Perth is also the best in Australia, comparing to Melbourne the stations here are very clean and train service is always punctual, you can even charge your mobile phones on the train. On the other hand, Melbourne is pretty old, dirty and congested, property prices are sky high.
      Having said that I do miss the cafes in Brunswick and Acland St in St Kilda, there are also cafe strips in Perth, the only problem is the population is small, most of the time they are not crowded. The coffee in Melbourne tastes much better.

    Let us bear in mind few important points: AUSTRALIA IS CLEAN AND BEAUTIFUL EVERYWHERE. The infrastructure and the public service amazes and not to be found anywhere in the world. Parks are manicured and well kept on regular basis. The fact that Australia has low populations is a great asset. Less people , less pollution and problems. One can live very well in Australia. We have lived in various parts of the world including Africa and Latin America. As many nowadays we have travelled extensively and done our research. Australia is pretty unique and, to our eyes it is the New America. Prices are related with income - a sensible comparison will do. If you earn money in Oz well you can have a great quality of life and afford many things that in other countries are not that easy. If one comes from countries with a currency stronger thatn the Ozzie dollar - then, nothing really is "that" expensive with the exception of houses. Whether you wish to buy or to rent - well, prices are not low. Australia has it all in climate and choices. Most importat Australia offers a great lifestyle appealing to all ! Check on other cities and places if you wish as it is relevant to have a proper perspective. We have also travelled within Australia and lived in Tasmania for fews years. Also in Melbourne and , all being well, heading for WA in the future. By the way, taking time to get to places in WA or else is NOT necessary something negative: one can fly if you wish to be there in a short timeand if not, enjoy the amazing scenery and get to know the history of each place and their people. Good luck everyone!

No culture. Antisocial behaviour. Youth gangs. Homelessness.

      I don't want it to grow any further. I have watched in dismay as immigration is turning Australians into a nation of flat renters, like the inhabitants of all the other big nasty cities elsewhere. Suburbs that were once leafy, have been turned into heat sinks by infill housing. Kids are growing up with nowhere to play within earshot of their mothers, other than the driveways.
      New suburbs have tiny lot sizes with no room for trees, or the birdlife that the older suburbs used to have. No wonder Australia's birth rate is so low.

      Hi, nice videos :)
      By the way, Perth's public transport and PSPs (which they learnt and half-succeeded from the win-win Dutch) are like "wow!" from a much worse-designed city of Australia's perspective, but still, not really on the world stage.
      Many cities of 100,000 in Europe have better systems, and the sprawl (while not as bad as the other major cities) still reduces the diversity and choice of living, which is not very sustainable for an isolated city (or any).
      Freo, Subi, and central Perth look nice though

    My experience in Western Australia (including Perth of course) was that some drivers enjoy throwing things onto vehicles travelling on opposite direction after dark. Best advice is to install a good quality dash cam to capture the culprits.

    Mate Sydney and Melbourne are more expensive to eat in then Perth. Perth has a more laid back attitude then the other cities. We are practically our own little country over here in Western Australia. Oh and it's the best place to live. Wouldn't live anywhere else.

    Public transport is the best in the country. There are places - away from the train lines - where it's not good but generally it's safe, clean, cheap and reliable. I live 40km from the city and my train journey is 37 minutes. That's not bad at all.

  • @BDub2024
    @BDub2024 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    Disagree with the comment on transport. There are 6 rail alternatives out of Perth, with further tracks to Ellenbrook and extensions in next five year. Buses are very popular and efficient for journeys, especially 15km from the city centre. But the fact, is that urban sprawl means longer distances for buses to travel and less usage by passengers. So often you'll get bus services on journeys that are basically empty outside peak hour. So transport is heavily subsidised by government to ensure there is a good service. My advice is that if you're living 15km or more from city centre and you want to use public transport, then be near a major road routes which will have multiple bus routes that are regular on weekdays and weekends.

    The biggest problem with Perth is that jobs here are very very hard to find. I know so many people who are unemployed despite trying hard to find work. Perth is really quiet and so is the business here. So if the business is quiet they do not want to hire more people. And that is why jobs are very less here.
    If you want to live in a quiet place then come to Perth but if you want crowd, people, shopping, big buildings, sports etc., Melbourne or Sydney would be the best.

      Employers complain that they can't get staff and they nag politicians to bring in more people. But there are plenty of people looking for jobs. What the employers want is cheaper labour, like they used to get before Covid when the government was importing a quarter of a million extra people per year. In the second half of the last century the average yearly intake of permanent migrants was 70,000.
