I can understand that, as an American, Australia is near the top of the list of countries I’d consider moving to.
Million dollar starters home await u
Are those in real or Australian dollars?
AUD, but their income is also AUD.
looks like median is closer to 800k tho outside of Sydney
Soooooo cheaper than the 900k starter homes here in my suburban hell
Y’all are getting starter homes?
Speaking as a kiwi, Australia is the US of the southern hemisphere.
You’re right, and New Zealand is our nicer, saner neighbour (Canada of the southern hemisphere)
As an Australian, I have to agree. It sucks
You know, as an American, I’ve always felt like Australia was like even bigger Texas. Obviously, this isn’t based on any firsthand experience, just my perception based on media, stereotypes, and memes. Like I said, I’m American.
Most of Texas is a conservative racist hellhole.
AFAIK Australians are orders of magnitudes better.
Compared to the US, probably, but in general Australia is a right wing conservative place, when compared to neighbours like NZ.
Have you seen the Governembt NZ elected and what they’re doing to the Treaty ?
While as an Aussie who mostly agrees Australia is a conservative ass backwards shit hole, it would appear NZ is now aspirationaly Australia.
Oh yeah they are getting worse, but im not talking past 1 or two years, I’m more talking past 50 years timeframe.
Having conservatism without the racism is like a pipe dream in the US
Oh we also have that, my boss whose parents were immigrants hates immigrants.

It makes some sense. Australia is not that unlike the US: there’s a lot of geographical spread, people more or less speak the same language, much of it is car-centric so you won’t have to get used to walking/cycling everywhere as you might in Europe, plus there’s a more or less functioning state healthcare system and much fewer guns in the hands of the general public. On the downside, the wildlife wants to kill you, and the locals will call you a “bloody seppo bastard” (rhyming slang for American, from “septic tank”/“yank”), though sometimes affectionately.
Spoken by someone who has no idea.
Not for long.
Guyana surprises me a little bit. The spectre of war is probably pretty unpleasant, but on the flipside that’s one of the fastest growing economies in the world. The economic situation should be, at a minimum, stable for the average person.
Relevant Wendover. Just watched this one last night. Was pretty interesting.
It’s pretty fat away.
Finally, a different map
