Cons are definately
1) Real Estate Prices
2) Traffic
3) PT
They all have a common denominator -> population problem.
we need to stop breeding/importing human's into this place/onto the planet. we just can't support it :(

Culture and Events! Having grown up in Perth I was amazed at what was available when I moved to Melbourne...
@PureKrome PT is a con? How do you compare it to other states?

Hi, Melbourne is awesome, but a little to much traffic during peak hours.
