    i lived in melbourne for 5 years, europe for 3 years and the states for 2 years.. for lifestyle, Adelaide wins hands down, no contest. I do love Melbourne, London and New York but… too busy!

    @Valkyriepure Stop bagging Adelaide – maybe if you have travelled abroad you would be thankful at how lucky you are to live in Adelaide, and how close we are to everything!!!! 45min in peak hour traffic is nothing, you should go live in New York, then you would know what real RUSH HOUR IS……

    @HotZingers I’ve lived in a few Aus capitals and wouldn’t even consider settling down anywhere else, except maybe Perth depending on employment.

    Polluted shithole

    Adelaide is fast becoming a high density polluted shithole. Last two times I decided to drive in the 3 pm rush hour it took 45 mins to drive less than 15km. Lifestyle is fast turning to shit with cost of living and we are still waiting for modern smokeless fuel laws for the thousands of wood burners that help the soaring asthma and respiratory disease rates every winter.
