Think I'll go visit Sydney tonight - just so not feeling good about Perth. Only reason I'm looking here is because I want something I can at least do a reno on, and it's convenient if the place you're reno-ing is where you live.
Reason I have a bad feeling about Perth is that even though this mining boom supposedly still has steam in it, I think it's reached its peak. Without resources in WA, what other reason is there for people to come to Perth? It's hardly a vibrant cosmopolitan city ... look at the city centre, two crap malls and a a handful of pubs.
Main inner-city entertainment district - Northbridge.
Theatre - rubbish at Burswood, and we miss most big acts, though i believe Springsteen is in town at present. Even the Big Day out is caput. If you think of going somewhere for a city holiday within Australia, you think Sydney or Melbourne, but never Perth. We may as well be in a different country over here.
Prices here are ridiculous; I don't think we will have enough of a growing population to fill all the tiny boxes people are building. Seriously, if it wasn't for the mining boom, who would want to live here?
