100% true regarding the housing costs, but renting is actually fairly affordable in Sydney. I had a penthouse on the beach for $3900 USD/mo. Here's the view from it: https://www.reddit.com/r/battlestations/comments/f6llsc/im_n...

Despite the buying costs of Sydney being equivalent to something like SF, 4k/mo goes much further in Sydney for renting.
