I have lived in Sydney and Melbourne. Although the time is not long, I also have some basic impressions. Of course, there are 1000 Hamlets in the eyes of a thousand people, and it is naive to try to correct the different views of others from their own. Especially with these subjective questions, OK,LET'S GO..
1. Natural environment
Sydney, a wonderful city beloved by God and unique to the natural environment all over the world.
2. Human environment
Sydney, of course, is because I prefer modern things, fun, culture, art and so on.
3, climate
Sydney, no need to explain.
4, cleanliness
Melbourne, when compared to City, reveals that Melbourne is cleaner than Sydney.
5, traffic
Melbourne, driving congestion better than Sydney, public commuting costs are also lower than Sydney.
6, security
Melbourne, Sydney has several districts of super-chaotic, reducing the overall level of law and order, but now Melbourne seems to be deteriorating law and order.
7, cost of living (excluding housing)
Sydney, for the most part, is on par with Melbourne, but Chinese goods are cheaper than Melbourne.
8. Housing costs
Melbourne, Sydney is too expensive, although Melbourne is not cheap, which also proves that prices and house prices are inversely proportional to the formula that has been established in different cities in many countries.
9. Chinese District
Melbourne, compared to Box Hill, Melbourne's largest Chinese district, is synonymous with Husrtville, Sydney's largest Chinese district.
10. Friendliness of the local population
Melbourne, as legend has it, Sydney residents are more apathetic, but the difference is not big, in Melbourne I also met cold gangsters, Sydney also met warm passers-by, or according to the individual.
11. Ease of employment and business
Sydney, with more vitality, better economy and better consumer power, is not too different.
12. Degree of recognition of cities
Melbourne, especially the Chinese community, if you follow the official accounts of Melbourne and Sydney at the same time, you will find that Melbourne's official account is always publishing how good its own city is, and always showing disdain for Sydney. There are few things like this in Sydney, including the friends I meet. Melbourne's friends are better than Sydney when they get the chance to talk about Melbourne, and Sydney's friends never care about it.
