The big one is coming say preppers

[Azazel]

Or, you could live in Canberra and have the best of both worlds

I tried living in Canbrrr but couldn't deal with the Winter that goes from February to November

 

[Deltaberry]

doesnt this mean that relatively affordabled properties will stay in demand while the more expensive ones will stagnate becasue its simply unaffordable and has far less demand

All you need to do is look overseas at more much more established cities, and see what's happened to its traditionally blue chip suburbs, and what's happened with the gentrified ones, and what's happened with the less desirable areas, over a 25 year period.

London is an easy one to analyse. So is New York, Hong Kong and Tokyo.

That's door to door. Time yourself from the moment you close your door at home to the moment you step foot at work. That's travelling time. You'd be surprised how much travelling time we do,

12 mins each way on foot. That's a 24 minute walk right there. Add the journey home for lunch. Another 24 mins - it all adds up. Really only halve the time by driving. Darn town has no traffic lights. No escape.

^^^^^^rub it in, go on rub it!

 

[sanj]

^^^^^^rub it in, go on rub it!

10 mins for me if I leave a bit later, 15 mins if at the worst of peak hour. door to door as well

 

[datto]

^^^^^. All riight? Anybody else? I'm trying to get some shut eye here.

Five minutes by car to my workplace. 20 if there is a crash on the bridge and I have to stop at all the red lights.

 

[TMNT]

agree.

Kids would much rather have their parents than any material possessions.
....well most kids.

i agree, I dont get why a lot of paretns their number one priority in choosing a place to live has to have a backyard,

sure living in a place with backyard is desiriable, but hardly the highest priority.

as long as there are parks around , or things to do, who cares

I had 6 minutes on the train (3 stops) or 16mins on my bicycle in my last job [sigh].

 

[boeman]

Some days I work from my couch.

I would say that including a stop at the coffee machine it would be a 100 second commute.

+1.

I live interstate, drive 19km to work, and some days it takes over 15 mins to get there. In the middle of the city.

 

[WattleIdo]

[Harro]

Imagine travelling 3hrs for a commute to and from work. Bloody ridiculous! So many better things to do with those hours.
