The Pros and Cons of Life in Perth

We have recently spent some time back in Perth and had the opportunity to weigh up the pros and cons of life in Australia. It is certainly a nice place but it has its drawbacks.

For my taste I put low population density in the plus column.

[@Engineer9736]

Agree. Though the center of Perth is not quite quiet :-) Having a nice quiet place as home is a pro.

[@andrewjenkinson8948]

Me too, a big pro. My biggest con about Perth is how hot it is in summer, since I absolutely hate the heat.

perth not having many people on streets seems like introvert dream

[@Larwood.]

On the contrary a big busy city is great for introverts because you just blend into the crowd.

[@DoctorMeatDic]

It's a city for families. If you are young and single, there's not much to do. Fortunately two of the greatest cities in the world, Sydney and Melbourne, are four hours away so you can still come home every couple of months.

[@bellajade419]

yes agreed

[@robertl8429]

yeah it depends. if you are married and have kids or a family and close friends already there its probably a pro. but if you want to meet alot of people or be around people or are lonely it might be considered a con.

It's a pro that it isn't absolutely full of ppl, I think so anyway

Compared to Sydney, the driving time to get to places in Perth is absolutely nothing! I agree that it's definitely very clean in comparison to many places, and the proximity to the beach is fantastic. For me the low population density is a plus - it's nice to have a bit of peace! The distance from the rest of the world (plus ski fields) is definitely a con though.

Melbourne and Sydney are the Golden cities where the country basically stands on its feet, they’re the first tier cities, built around finance mostly. Perth is a second tier city, very much like Brisbane, mine based economies and stuff like that. Then you have Adelaide which is really just there, out dated and going nowhere.

Re Melbourne you must be blind See port phillio beaches Wonderful cafe strips like brunswick st and acland st Small lanes in city Wonderful art galleries About 10 live theatres Dandenong ranges natinal park MCG seats 100,000 ie huge 17 train lines Some of tallest buildings in aus Very multi cultural not provincial and inward looking like perth

[@icebaby6714]

@@deltamx Port Philip Bay? come on, it is just a Bay not Ocean...you have to come out of Melbourne and visit the beaches in WA, they are more beautiful than all the beaches in Melbourne and can even beat Great Ocean Road I used to love. Yes there are more cafes and tall buildings in Melbourne, however Perth has changed a great deal in the past few years, the entire CBD has been upgraded to a brand new city with tall office buildings and hotels like Ritz Carlton Towers, there are also many trendy apartments, it is no longer an inward looking provincial city you thought. The metro system in Perth is also the best in Australia, comparing to Melbourne the stations here are very clean and train service is always punctual, you can even charge your mobile phones on the train. On the other hand, Melbourne is pretty old, dirty and congested, property prices are sky high. Having said that I do miss the cafes in Brunswick and Acland St in St Kilda, there are also cafe strips in Perth, the only problem is the population is small, most of the time they are not crowded. The coffee in Melbourne tastes much better.

[@milagiganticurchod6138]

Let us bear in mind few important points: AUSTRALIA IS CLEAN AND BEAUTIFUL EVERYWHERE. The infrastructure and the public service amazes and not to be found anywhere in the world. Parks are manicured and well kept on regular basis. The fact that Australia has low populations is a great asset. Less people , less pollution and problems. One can live very well in Australia. We have lived in various parts of the world including Africa and Latin America. As many nowadays we have travelled extensively and done our research. Australia is pretty unique and, to our eyes it is the New America. Prices are related with income - a sensible comparison will do. If you earn money in Oz well you can have a great quality of life and afford many things that in other countries are not that easy. If one comes from countries with a currency stronger thatn the Ozzie dollar - then, nothing really is "that" expensive with the exception of houses. Whether you wish to buy or to rent - well, prices are not low. Australia has it all in climate and choices. Most importat Australia offers a great lifestyle appealing to all ! Check on other cities and places if you wish as it is relevant to have a proper perspective. We have also travelled within Australia and lived in Tasmania for fews years. Also in Melbourne and , all being well, heading for WA in the future. By the way, taking time to get to places in WA or else is NOT necessary something negative: one can fly if you wish to be there in a short timeand if not, enjoy the amazing scenery and get to know the history of each place and their people. Good luck everyone!

[@MelmacAlienLifeForm]

Cons: Extremely hot, cancerous sun with very high UV rate, floods, bush fires, annoying flies, super noisy birds, spiders, huge cockroaches, snakes, sharks, crocodiles, jelly fish, extremely expensive housing, service , food and travel, high meth usage and therefore aggression, high crime rate almost everywhere, especially thievery and assaults, not safe to walk at night in the major entertainment spots and cities. No culture. Antisocial behaviour. Youth gangs. Homelessness.

I just spent 4 months in Perth ,did a lot of exploring of the city,beaches from Wedge Island down to Albany ,all of which are absolutely beautiful with miles of walk ways and bicycle paths,lots of great restaurants up and down the coast,bars and cafes to suit everyone's taste and budget.Overall I loved the whole Perth/W.A area and would highly recommend it to anyone thinking of moving there long or short term,the people still have a civility about them you don't find in a lot of other big cities.maybe waking up to blue skies and having the most beautiful sunsets I have ever seen makes the difference,anyway if you ever get the chance go and see for yourself ,you won't be disappointed.

Perth is a great city and surely one of the best places to live in spite of the cons.

It's hard to survive without driving, which is pretty much true in many other capital cities.

[@betula2137]

Hi, nice videos :) By the way, Perth's public transport and PSPs (which they learnt and half-succeeded from the win-win Dutch) are like "wow!" from a much worse-designed city of Australia's perspective, but still, not really on the world stage. Many cities of 100,000 in Europe have better systems, and the sprawl (while not as bad as the other major cities) still reduces the diversity and choice of living, which is not very sustainable for an isolated city (or any). Freo, Subi, and central Perth look nice though

[@chriswatson1698]

I don't want it to grow any further. I have watched in dismay as immigration is turning Australians into a nation of flat renters, like the inhabitants of all the other big nasty cities elsewhere. Suburbs that were once leafy, have been turned into heat sinks by infill housing. Kids are growing up with nowhere to play within earshot of their mothers, other than the driveways. New suburbs have tiny lot sizes with no room for trees, or the birdlife that the older suburbs used to have. No wonder Australia's birth rate is so low.

[@cliffling2220]

My experience in Western Australia (including Perth of course) was that some drivers enjoy throwing things onto vehicles travelling on opposite direction after dark. Best advice is to install a good quality dash cam to capture the culprits.
