Shut the gently caress up, the firebirds are playing



How do all those people get there without a train or bus station? How do you plan on demolishing a train station, yard and relocating your entire inner city train fleet to a magical location? The firebirds already play at the loving convention centre.

How? why? How? Why? How?

Surely this isn't because Perth just built a new stadium right?

I sincerely hope were not staring down the barrel of another dumbass capital city rivalry ala Melbourne v. Sydney, only shittier, and more racist.

Melbourne can't be better than Sydney. Sydney has citizens so patriotic and caring that when they hear thunder at 5am they get in their cars and drive to the Harbour Bridge to help with the damage caused by the terrorists that have obviously bombed it.

Perth Circa 2009 was unapologetically trash. I used to go to Brisbane for work and experience outrage at how much better food and coffee were, and that there were things to do on a Sunday even. Melbourne just made me furious at the state of things back home.

Perth Circa 2017 is a vastly different animal though. The trains are actually a viable alternative to driving again (unless you live on the northern line, but in that case, piss off moneybags). Shops close at 9 during the week, instead of 6. We have an inexplicable number of small bars in and around the city, and even suburban cafes are worth eating at now. Some of them have even been serving coffee that you could call "good" by non-Western Australian standards. You can get breakfast after 10:30, and you can go to a good restaurant without having to book 3 weeks in advance because now there's more than 5 of them!

I attribute a lot of the cultural turnaround to the influx of Melbournians as a result of the mining boom/housing affordability issues, and the rest to the lifting of some of our draconian liquor licencing practices. Some time around 2010, someone figured out that refusing to grant any new liquor licenses without first retiring an older one is a dumb, regressive idea, and around the same time Woolworths and Coles managed to convince themselves that people might actually want to buy groceries during the week, other than on Thursdays.

It turns out, that running a city exclusively for the benefit of its loaded western suburbs retiree population is loving stupid, and results in a city that looks like it's striving to go back to being a town - who knew!

Look I hate going outside just as much as the next goon but you're going to need something better than "coles open more" and "shop-bought espresso". Coles open more just means fewer corner stores, which is bad for local jobs/economy, and cafes are terrible for wage practises. I suppose if one is rich enough that doesn't matter tho

No, you are wrong and he is correct.

Fringe, more food and wine and booze festivals than you can shake a stick at, more music options, more small bars, better nightlife (northbridge isnt quite the stabby shithole it once was) PIAF and this is by no means an extensive list. If you think perth is the same shithole it used to be, you would be sorely wrong.
