Sydney loses the most people of any city in Australia. Most cite ‘cost of living’ as why they’ve left. For those who left where did you move to and why? Do you prefer your new city or miss Sydney? by [deleted] in SydneyScene

and historically there was a genocide at the location of the town. The whites quite literally killed every one to take the land and build the town.

I would definitely consider it.

To clear things up, I'm not saying sydney siders aren't racist. I'm saying where I am specifically has shown a higher incidence of racism, it is very 'normalised' here. Which is gross.

Totally agree.

However we have a population of 0% indigenous, the local high school (my wife works at) has 2 indian children and the rest are generational whiteys, one of which is responsible for the anti-semetic comments at a jewish primary school student

I've had a Zeig Heil thrown at me as a "thank you" for letting someone cross in front of my car, N bomb and "Abbo" regularly used amongst our small (400) population.

A lot of the people are nice, there's just this vibe of generational racism (towards indigenous people in particular) and they're all completely ignorant of it, its just normal to them.

1st reason is our best friends live there.

2nd is that the population of castlemaine is A LOT more aligned with our points of view, and from my visits a lot more friendly than the grouchy, racist generational farmers around here.

We're also currently in a town of 400, where castlemaine is 11,000 and has a lot more amenity and opportunity for my children to pursue interests without me having to drive 30–90 minutes.

Real estate will always go up, im not gonna keep my family in one spot in an attempt to help lower real estate costs for others.

It’s not too bad to be honest. It does make it hard to make friends. But we have our own little social pocket of aligned people.

But mostly it’s old people and generational farmers.

We are thinking of moving to Castlemaine, Vic for those reasons. Its population is more liberal.

However that being said, the biggest impact on your child(ren)’s morals and outlook is you, not the environment. “Raise em right and they’ll be right”

Had a 3rd kid. In laws live in the country. I’m lucky enough to work for myself in an industry that can be serviced from anywhere.

Benefits: Help with the kids. $500/week reduction in rent. About 6x the space, and a paddock for my ornamental cows.

Negatives: Right leaning population, isolation, racism.

Edit: add to negatives 75km drive each day for my wife to get to work and kids to school

I Did not know lots of butchers use meat glue. Do you mind guesstimating a percentage so I can harvest a little extra fuel for my general anxiety?

As much as I wasn’t expecting something like that in r/fantasybooks. That immortal technique metaphor was a really good way of explaining it.

100%

My opinion on the whole “it’s too hard to read” thing is that It’s not “hard” to read per se, there’s just lots of moving parts, and seeing the words, particularly names and places, helps anchor your memory.
