The trade offs are present even where I'm living now, long commute times and poor infrastructure even for very new areas (built in the last 15 years) make it harder to get anything done. Even so, in this more reasonable area, I'm spending almost 60% of my weekly income on my house and a further 25% on food and bills.
- sien 11y agoWhat is your reasonable area?
- PebblesHD 11y agoI'm living in western Sydney at the moment, it takes 1:20-1:30 each way to get to my office in north Sydney. I can live with this because the distance means my rent gets me a house with a garage instead of a one bedroom flat in inner sydney. By reasonable I just meant that for the money id say where I am is the best value in terms of house size and area where I live.
- sien 11y agoThis reminds me why I don't live in Sydney. Even Melbourne is better than that. Adelaide, Brisbane, Perth and Canberra all have IT jobs as well where you commute will be a small fraction of that.
