I live in a rich, liberal inner city suburb and i'm happy where I am. The three booths in my suburb or that service my suburb all voted ALP by over 60% (one voted 75-25 for the ALP) and whilst we dio have some crime I can walk the streets at midnight and feel perfectly secure because most of the crime is due to rich criminals
The biggest problems with the area is that tonnes of new apartmants have been built over the last 10 years or so bringing in a total influx of yuppies. We're 10 minutes from the CBD and right on the beach, so it's a yuppie magnet :S. Also, because of the increae in population, traffic can get bad and when once you could stand ion the main street and not see anyone for 20 minutes on a saturday or sunday morning, now it's always packed with breakfasters. The third problem is that the poorer 'old port' people are moving out, which is getting rid of some of the soul of the suburb that made it so attractive to the yuppies in the first place. I would never live anywhere else in Melbourne though, except the neighbouring suburbs of Albert park, Middle Park and south Melbourne.
PORT MELBOURNE ROCKS Y'ALL!
(Plus my great-grandfather was mayor for yonks back in the earlier part of the 20th century, so I'm a bit jingoistic about the place
)
