"Why would you live in Brisbane"
Seriously, why would you live in Crime ridden Brisbane? flood and storm prone and just bland as cardboard.
"Glad I did!"
I am loving my new lifestyle in Townsville, there is so many events on like Townsville Eats, PBR, Greek Festival, North Queensland Fringe Festival and there is an abundance of restaurants and cafes to visit, you can't do it all in one day. The people are so friendly and made me feel welcome, its an easy walk around or if you wish to catch a taxi or uber or bus they are there too. I won't be returning to Melbourne, I have found what I want in Townsville.
Who lives here?
- Professionals
- Singles
- Families with kids
There are problems, crime is peaking , stolen cars etc. Rent don't buy. If you are in in a government job you'll be fine - the ups and downs of the economy won't affect you much.
ALIG123 - crime and stolen cars happen whereever you go in the world, it was a big problem where i came from (the hutt valley in wellington new zealand) and to date ive had no issues here in townsville
Townsville is on the up curve august 2023, its mining dependent. Maybe the curve will keep going. They are building more of the odious housing estates of the ponzi scheme in the south. Be aware - some of these housing estates will have public housing in them which means your shiney new house of 450 000 will be next to a house with rubbish dumped outside and fights in the street. In other places they build them next to known crime spots then people wonder why they are being broken into.
aljs - like ive said crime is everywhere in the the world no matter where you go sydney has its crime, melbourne has its crime, even the hutt valley in new zealand has its crime (and far more of it than townsville) - i feel safer walking the streets at night here in townsville than i did back in the hutt valley.
Im unsure if you live here in GP, but it has the strongest sense of community one could find in Beautiful Brisbane. Theres petty crime but the community crime watch is next level.
