Out of all the cities in australia for some unknow reason melbourne an sydney fight over whos better. everyone i know only say one of the cities is better because they live there or someone they know live there. i would like to know what your opinion is.

I grew up in Sydney and can confidently say that about 75% is just boring & ugly. If you are one of the lucky few you might live in one of those rare leafy or water-side properties that would require at least $800K but that would only get you a place in need of renovation!

I've only lived in Adelaide [very pretty & affordable but water is terrible], Brisbane [terrible chlorinated water & great if you love heat & humidity], Launceston [beautiful if you have views of the Tamar River! otherwise picturesque] & Hobart has a similar feel to Sydney except that it's affordable and lacks the stark, ugly side]. I'm now in Melbourne and live near the beautiful Blue Dandenong Ranges National Park which is about an hour east of the city...but who needs to live near the city these days. Clean air, beautiful surroundings but becoming almost as expensive as Sydney [should catch up in about 10 years] Hope that helps.

go sydney!

Its a matter of personal preference, not "which is better".

People will always argue that one is better than the other; which is pointless 'cause its something that can't be measured.
