Melbourne and Sydney are both hotspots for international tourists and students, cosmopolitan cities that their attractions are arts, culture and cuisine.

Melbourne and it's inner most suburbs have the best collection of bars, clubs and late night restaurants in the country.

When you start getting on Melbourne's extremities it turns into wall to wall houses without the fancy nightlife and culture stuff and seriously lacking in proper infrastructure to deal with the sheer volume of people traversing the city - or our Western suburbs have very poor rail infrastructure and relies on buses, so everyone drives, especially out Truganina, Williams Landing and out further.

I guess once you can't be ****ed with the fancy crap or your nights out start ending before 12AM they both lose their appeal really quick, especially if you're paying above the odds to live in suburbia.

Melbourne CBD smells like **** and it's very dirty, graffiti and our lovely brown river.

I think if you are the average Joe whose not a professional with a degree you'd have a better quality life in one of the smaller cities.
