> Melbourne and Sydney also suffer from being gravity wells for migration, so that people don't leave for better paying work elsewhere or cheaper housing. This is exactly it, I'd love to leave Sydney to live somewhere else but until remote working is ingrained in our culture, it's just too risky for my partner and I to move away to a smaller city/town incase our current employment changes. I've been amazed to hear of so many people who, as soon as they started working from home because of the pandemic, bought a house 2.5 hours away from their office. You're one bosses decision away from having a very miserable daily life.
