About the same situation for me in Aus. only I'm living in a rental that's 1-1.5 hrs out. At least I've got NBN. I'd like to blame it all on zoning, debt etc.,

About the same situation for me in Aus. only I'm living in a rental that's 1-1.5 hrs out. At least I've got NBN. I'd like to blame it all on zoning, debt etc., but I suspect some of it is all that Chinese and other foreign money looking for a safe place offshore. Still the jobs market beats the pants off of Midwestern U.S. when it comes to software dev.
