Brisbane (CBD), QLD 4000

Visited Brisbane CBD while road tripping across Australia after my graduation. Encountered racist and agressive teenagers on a street while minding my own business. The people in this country are not very educated but show unnecessary arrogance to foreigners and migrants. A blight on the face of this earth. My only reaction to this place was YUCK !!!!

Visited this place many times between January and April 2024. There is a lot of youth crime and many of the teenagers are quite racist. They will single you out of you are a foreigner and openly harass you on the streets and guaranteed no one will step up to help you. Happened to me while I was doing some street photography. Most of Australia's cities are substandard and lack any technology, innovation or sophistication. They country is filled with uneducated tradies who dropped out of school when 15 or 16 yrs old who make money due to high wages and show their privilege by showing racist sentiments to migrants and international students. The country lacks vision,modern thinking, technology, innovation and infrastructure but rather than improving themselves they blame migrants and international students for their own lack of vision and innovation. This city and this nation will not survive much longer as arrogance and pride has an expiry date.

With the Olympics in less than 10 years you would think their train system is atleast showing signs of being modernised. But no it is embarassing so bad very dirty platforms and filthy trains even in Central stations in the city. Their ticketing system is a joke with the vending machines from last century. GET YOUR ACT TOGETHER!
Then apart from Soutbank which is good the only other thing to do there is go to the Shopping malls Westfields mainly which are packed to the walls with people trying to keep themselves from getting bored as theres fudge all to do during the day.

In terms of capital growth for your property investments it is 1 hour either way to the paradise haven of Sunshine Coast/Gold Coast where you can actually enjoy living. It really depends on the immigration of people from Sydney/Melbourne as the local buyers would never be able to push prices higher.

I am originally from Sydney, where I spent a lot of my youth in Pyrmont/Ultimo/Glebe and also lived in HK. HK was kick-arse for food and nightlife, truly a 24/7 city and safer than either Sydney or Brisbane.

But Brisbane is waaay more affordable to visit and live there. Coffee is consistently way better than Sydney (or even Melbourne, in my experience). 2 bed apartments for $400-450k is insanely good. The traffic actually moves. PT is great now, lots of parks, comedy scene, QPAC all good.

We really regretted getting an apartment in the CBD as supply is way larger than demand esp after covid, and the prices just kept dropping. Traffic is horrible during the week and parking is also expensive .

I decided to write on here because I googled BRISBANE NIGHT LIFE with a review of Brisbane City having 24hr night life which is complete total lie, you will find about three 24hr restaurants in Brisbane city. I lived here my whole life, being in my 30s now and nothing has changed. Has always been the same boring brisbane. Dont get caught after 10pm in Brisbane, anyone out after that time is bascially labelled a criminal or drug dealer to the QPS. Look out if your in a group of more than 3 ,especially with tattoos get your tatts taken photos of and get questioned about being affiliated. Only real late night option of food is maccas where you can find every 4kms from each other. In conclusion there is no night life here and if your down for a boring night out wondering around not knowing what to do cos there nothing to do, make sure you have some sort of story cos without one your a suspect of crime. In conclusion Brisbane requires you to be at home in bed by 9.00pm and no night life what so ever, 100%

DRIVING HERE IS HELL!?

DRIVING IS LIKE BEING CHASED-
Coming from Sydney first thing I noticed was the way people drive here on highways are extremely rude no class whatsoever.

THE HEAT-
Just by steeping on your door step you will be melting no make up or Glam life or blow-dries as is way too much the heat so going work 10 hours having to leave car out of the CBD is impossible as you'll be sweating like stinking sweat bad. so going & coming back from an 8 hour shift is nightmare but even just 4 hours is too much

NO PLACE LIKE SYDNEY-
I don't know where is best honestly I give up on the whole country lol so don't expect to be walking around green parks or coffees as you'll be crying for air-conditioning and cool showers your car will be damaged by the heat as you know you can not trust the window slightly open as it will be broken in I went to the park which was lovely hence two minutes after my face started to burn with the sweat and heat so ran back in to the melting 50 car heat to drive back home straight into the shower
There is just no possible way to fix it unless stay home work from home and wait till sun goes down I must say I think best capital city to live right now is Adelaide as is affordable and beautiful stable climate I lived in Sydney Alice Springs Tasmania ( kind of Antarctica )
And Brisbane currently.
Two weeks here and short lived hahahaha

I would never live in Brisbane again and especially not the CBD. So many violent attacks on women in past years and even people reading to children are subject to bigoted attacks. Just an awful city.

I would never live in Brisbane again let alone the "CBD", the city was a bore and the place is so grubby.
