    Someone had a numberplate that said “Victoria: The Pothole State”.

    Also overheard someone at the beach say Melbourne is like Sydney’s uglier sister (they said Melbourne was a 2/10), but it made up for its looks with its personality. Interesting.

      Cannot agree if the are talking central CBD type areas. Sydney is so claustrophobic and grey.

      Gotta agree with the pothole comment; around here I see the same bad bits of roads getting bodgy patchups year after year. Same near work. Colleagues of mine who live in different areas say the same thing of their suburbs. Honest question, why are we so bad at fixing roads now? Did something change? 🤔

      Edit: I used Google to answer my own question like a grown up

      Have they actually spent time here?

      even the worst places have some beautiful parks and open spaces

        No clue.

        I agree, and think that’s why people live in dingy places. They also might have not choice, stay out of convenience or not know any better.
