for a good reason, Melbourne is a great place to live ... 

I wanna go.   How tough is it for an american to get dual citizenship I wonder.

They let me in  Gotta say, Sydney weather sure beats Vermont.

As a Canuck I love Vancouver, but I'll take Melbourne/Adelaide/Sydney/Perth over it any day.

I'm an American, I can't switch to another country though because I'm getting military retirement and if I did I'd lose it but I can go dual citizen.

For Jafo, Melbourne is 'Mecca'.

Livable cities, likeable people, plenty of desert.......what the heck am I doing here?

Dessert too ....if you ain't had a Pav you ain't lived...

These cities are only winning because the really nice places are too small to get surveyed. Thank god I'm a country boy. 

Yeah, as always, it's a subjective thing.  Plenty of people don't like big cities, so the claim that even a place like Melbourne is more livable than, say, a smaller town with a lower cost of living, less impersonality (is that a word?), and a more immediate natural setting is a little laughable to them.

Personally, though, I like cities... anyone want to hire me in Melbourne?
