View Melbourne
Earlier days the outcome was known ranking of the world's most liveable cities 2011 version, which each year develops the Economist Intelligence Unit
For the fifth consecutive year Vancouver (Canada) took first place, but this year Melbourne (Australia) moved to Vienna (Austria) from the second position.
The top 10 most liveable cities in the world is:
1. Vancouver, Canada
2. Melbourne, Australia
3. Vienna, Austria
4. Toronto, Canada
5. Calgary, Canada
6. Helsinki, Finland
7. Sydney, Australia
8. Perth, Australia
8. Adelaide, Australia
10. Auckland, New Zealand
Australia and Canada being the country who steal the top 10.
The truth is that medium-sized cities in developed countries with small populations (such as Australia and Canada), have all the advantages to be at the top, as they have all the benefits cultural and infrastructure, without the problems of crime and congestion.
As expected, the list of 140 cities, first appear cities in developed countries of the Western world, together with some Asian. Then Latin America with the least favored in Asia and the Middle East and Africa final.
We are pleased with second place, but we must continue the effort to move to Vancouver. Personally I have started a movement to help achieve this, in which Vancouver can not compete. Here is the log of my activities: My Plan for Melbourne
With effort and goodwill, we will succeed.
other hand have a serious problem or an opportunity, depending on how you look: Housing Affordability, Accessibility or accommodation.
Australia is now the country with most overvalued property market in the world. More than 8 years ago that experts announced a drastic price correction that never happens. The values \u200b\u200bare rising. The demand exceeds the supply keeps increasing slope.
At this point the median value of housing in Melbourne is $ 600,000, and the price has risen on average 7.6% per year since 1926. This means that by 1926 a property was bought for $ 1200 when I was born one was worth $ 24,000, worth $ 140,000 when I got married, and worth $ 380,000 when I came to Australia 6 years ago. 600,000 and will now worth a million in 7 years.
And so it was that this market trend with a lot of Australian people made millions, as explained in my post: Financial Leverage.
What will happen in the future is never certain. But if this trend continues, of the 44 districts Melbournians who is now above the median value million, will move to 100 districts in 2014. When Lucas turns 25, the median value of the property in Melbourne is 1.8 million dollars. Obviously the building is not the relevant part of the price, but the earth beneath.
From there there are 2 kinds of people in Metropolitan Melbourne. Will people who can access their own homes because their parents and grandparents bought a timely and transferred to their children. And people will never be able to access homeownership.
