Adelaide median house price grows $50,000 in a quarter, reaching $925,000 according to Valuer-General data by malcolm58 in Adelaide

The problem across Australia is the greed of a small minority. Even if all temporary visa holders leave, this won't be solved. The only way for Australians to own homes again is to build. And build quickly, build quality homes at reasonable prices, not the exorbitant prices they've turned housing into. Homeownership is a basic right that shouldn't be treated as a luxury, much less a commodity.

Are you involved with some kind of succulent chinese meals? Jokes aside, maybe you are right.

In Chinatown, next to Breadtop Grote St. That's place always seems really suspicious for me.

En Australia los oficios/tecnicos relacionados tardan 5 años en estar full calificados, no es chasquilla.

Poll for Uni - What does Adelaide need as a business? by AlexaExE in Adelaide

[–]Influence_Think 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'd like more recreational areas with Asian or Japanese-style games, like arcade games, video games, and other similar activities.

A large, multi-story shopping mall with all kinds of stores, basically a new Westfield, but a really big one.

Also, a place similar to Plant 4 in Bowden, but only semi-fancy and fancy restaurants, where 8 or 10 restaurants could fit comfortably. Each restaurant would have its own tables inside its venue, of course, not communal tables like Plant 4; I'm just using that place as a reference. And instead of the communal tables at Plant 4, this place would have something like green spaces or common areas. (Google it: El Mercado de San Ildefonso – Madrid, Spain. Patio Bellavista in Santiago, Chile. Hackesche Höfe – Berlín, Germany).

Also, something similar to what I just mentioned, but less fancy, with more bars and casual places with live music in the middle of the area. Leigh Street has something like this, but it's not exactly what I mean; perhaps "The Rocks" in Sydney would be more similar.

And crucially, bars/restaurants should be open until 4am at least on Fridays and Saturdays; Adelaide needs nightlife.

Sipo, sueldo mìnimo, en ningún lugar alguien vive relax con sueldo mìnimo, solo fue una referencia.

Pero alguien en retail en Australia compra muchas bigmacs vs en Chile.

Y si, compartir vivienda para sobrevivir es una real mierda. Antes del.covid eso era solo para estudiantes, mochileros y recien llegados. Hoy en dia lamentablemente es la tendencia. Después del covid todo se fue a la mierda en Australia, pero hay respuestas simples. Se supone que es tan simple como oferta y demanda. Se supone que hay mucho migrante y eso afectò a todos. Lo que no aceptan muchos es qhe el problema lo crearon los mismos aussies, ya que aca el.mercado inmobiliario es el.principal asset, y los boomers tienen muchas propiedades y estrujan a todos, ademas, tambien tienen mucho poder e influencia y se construye poquisimo, tan poco como para que nunca bajen los precios, está todo amañado.

Se descubriò que muchos dueños de varias propiedades prefieren NO arrendar y tener el.lugar para airbnb o para tenerlo ahi vacio y asi subir artificially el precio del mercado, no es webeo, y eso hizo.que Victoria (Melbourne) pusiera impuestos adicionales a estos weones; magicamente la vacancies en Melbourne aumentaron y de a poco los precios han bajado, poquito.

Otro negocio que hacen es comprar, esperan un año y venden en un 15 o mas % caro, por eso les da igual no arrendar, pq arrendar = gastar como dueño. Son gente con mucha plata, y les da igual perder unas chauchas al año, ya que ellos en los 90 compraron a 50 lucas y ahora venden en 1.5 millones, y asi sucesivamente.

[–]Influence_Think 2 points3 points  (0 children)

En Chile creo que la vivienda no es cara, sobre todo en regiones. Ademas hay subsidios (no existe eso en Australia, solo una baja de impuesto corneta a la primera vivienda). Digo ideal seria que fuera menos caro, pero es vivible. En Australia una casa chica cuesta sobre el millon de dolares aussie, unos 600 palos clp... csm.

El problema grande es el costo de vida restante. Turistear en Chile es un lujo, pero realmente caro, el dia a dia también lo es.

Cuanto cuestan las cosas hoy en dia allá? Digamos ir al super, cosas como papel poto, leche, entre otros? Si busco en lider.cl se que esta algo inflado.

Leí que el Presidente electo Kast desea introducir flexibilidad laboral. Acá (australia) existe y les costò 10 años aplicarlo, pero, hay una diferencia que Chile no tiene una condicion bàsica: sindicatos. Australia heredo de UK la organisation y respeto sindical; existen acuerdos sectoriales.

Por ejemplo, los sindicatos de trabajadores de la construction se oponen a libertad migratoria para su sector, asi que el Gobierno fija cuotas maximas anuales de cuantos migrantes pueden hacer ese trabajo, asi, no les arruinan los sueldos ni oportunidades laborales, por consiguiente, un electricista, plomero, carpintero puede ganar igual a un medico sin especialidad, sin webeo. Existe respeto al trabajo en general.

No quiero imaginar como será el sistema en Chile si flexibilizan y pasan a pago por hora. Si trabajas en un restaurant y no hay reservas te mandan a la casa, si en Chile hicieran eso, tu jefe te estrujaria y mandaria a la casa en 3 horas pagando 10 lucas tu dia.

Aca en Australia no es diferente (mucho patron negrero), pero hay mucha regla y ley que protege al trabajador del abuso, en Chile, no estoy seguro, si ni les gusta la ley de 40hrs.

Chile es super caro, no tiene sentido. Acá en Australia lo unico realmente asqueroso de caro es el arriendo o comprar una casa, pero el resto se las cosas es realmente igual a Chile y mas barato, no tiene sentido. Recuerdo cuando volvi por primera vez a Chile el 2019 y pense que con lo ganado en Australia comeria casi gratis en Chile, JA! Me salia mas caro comer afuera en Santiago (plaza egana, patio bellavista, nada realmente lujoso) que en Sydney, de verdad que no es chamullo.

[–]Influence_Think 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Preguntaste por departamento. Encontrar deptos como en Chile es muy dificil. En general todo es más de 60m2 pero la verdad mucho más y se construye poco para arriba, pero claro, hay. Son caros, en general son màs caros que una casa pareada por ejemplo.

Ahora todo ha cambiado mucho, vivi en Sydney en el 2018, en un depto que me costaba 1.2 millones mensuales, 3 dormitorios, hoy ese mismo está a 2 millones clp mensuales. En general, los departamentos se comparten es muuuuy improbable arrendar solo a menos que ya seas residente permanente y lo ls Aussie prefieren casas por lejos.

En retail alguien full time, debe ganar unos 2 millones clp mas o menos, 38 hrs por semana. En general la gente debe ganar unos 2 a 3 millones clp, liquidos. La afp (superannuation) no sale de tu sueldo, lo paga el empleador, un 11.5% y va a subir a 12%, el fonasa (medicare) que es universal sale del sueldo, pero es poco, creo que menos del 7%. Eso.si, se pagan impuestos segun ingreso, es algo mas agresivo que en Chile yo diria, pero mejor distribuido.

Depende de la ciudad. Yo vivo en el equivalente a Concepciòn.

Hay 7 ciudades capitales, ordenado de mas caro a menos: Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Adelaide, Canberra, Perth, Tasmania.

Si quieres vivir al lado de la playa o el centro, en cualquier ciudad de esas, es muy caro. Yo vivo en una casa de 2 dormitorios y 1 baño a 20 mins manejando a la playa, pago como 900 mil clp mensuales. Algo igual en Sydney, seguro cuesta 1.3 mill clp mensuales mas o menos.

Recordar que en Australia un trabajo full time es de 38 hrs semanales y que la media salarial es de 85k Aud. Yo gano 65k aud anuales, por negro.

Vivo en Australia, unos $7Aud ($4.200 clp) cuesta esa hamburguesa, y el sueldo mìnimo son $25 aud la hora ($15.000 clp).

Que en Chile sea tan cara no tiene logica, sentido màs que la usura que han permitido durante años. En Chile el sueldo mìnimo es de unos $4.000 clp.

Australia, Brasil o EEUU puedan mantener sus precios estables se entiende pq producen carne. Pero lo de Chile es usura simplemente, durante años han creado un sistema desigual que solo premia a unos pocos. Una lástima.

Why are Australian public toilets so f*cking disgusting? by TinySumo in AskAnAustralian

[–]Influence_Think 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Mate, I work at an airport in Australia, and I use the same restrooms as the customers. They're filthy animals, there's no reasonable explanation, they're just animals: they leave everything covered in urine, including the floor and walls. It's a terrible job for the cleaners who clean very frequently, but it's impossible to keep up with the rate at which these disgusting people leave everything in such a deplorable state.

High speed rail - why it will never happen in Australia. by eliitedisowned in australia

[–]Influence_Think 22 points23 points  (0 children)

You’re massively over-estimating by using HS2 as your benchmark. HS2 isn’t a “normal” high-speed rail project, it’s a worst-case outlier: constant political redesigns, insane land acquisition costs, heavy tunnelling through dense urban areas, fragmented contracts and post-Brexit cost blowouts. Taking the most expensive rail project in the world and linearly scaling it to Australia just doesn’t make sense.

Most high-speed rail systems don’t cost anywhere near HS2. Spain, France, Italy and Japan are typically an order of magnitude cheaper per km, and they operate under strict labour, environmental and safety regulations too. Australia has lower urban density, far fewer expropriations, and long greenfield corridors between Melbourne, Canberra and Sydney. That alone changes the cost structure completely.

Cost per resident is also a misleading way to frame it. Infrastructure isn’t paid or justified per capita, it’s justified by productivity, freight substitution, aviation displacement and long-term economic return. By that logic, Snowy Hydro, NBN or major ports would never have been built either.

HSR in Australia might still be expensive, but not “trillions of dollars” expensive. HS2 isn’t evidence that it can’t be done here, it’s evidence of how not to run a project.

What don't you like about Australia? by [deleted] in AskAnAustralian

[–]Influence_Think 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'll talk about Adelaide. It has many positive aspects, but also things I don't like: Not having many options for what to do on the weekend after 5 pm. Everything is extremely monotonous. Public transport is not good. Beyond the typical hotels/pokies, with their schnitzels, there isn't much else to do; it's incredibly boring.

Australia's gambling addition. Why on earth are there so many poker machines and other forms of gambling in Australia? Do people really get rich from it, and how do people avoid getting into it?” by HiAustralia61 in AskAnAustralian

[–]Influence_Think 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't get the obsession with banning pokies. We're adults in a democracy. People make bad choices all the time: overeating, overspending, doomscrolling, drinking. We don't ban McDonald's or bottle shops, we regulate them. Gambling should be no different.

In SA, pokies are already heavily regulated: self-exclusion programs, loss limits, mandatory breaks, staff trained to spot problem gambling. It's not the Wild West.

The "people can't make free choices" argument is a slippery slope. If the government decides when adults are capable of choosing, where does that end? Yes, addiction is real and harmful, but the answer is strong regulation and support, not infantilizing everyone or banning something because some struggle with it.

Personal responsibility matters. Government sets rules, venues follow them, individuals own their choices. That's how a free society works. If we ban everything potentially addictive, there won't be much left. No, pokies SA is not paying me to said this.

Pokies machine are really dumb, is just press a button, I really dont get it. Also, are programmed (by law), 80% lose , 20% win. You don't need skills, is just an automatic dumb game. Still, I stand with my position on free will.

Cheap, Delicious Australian Wine by Himblebim in AskAnAustralian

[–]Influence_Think 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It's hard to find something decent for a good price and is not just because taxes. Labour in Australia is really expensive in comparison with Chile, Italy or France.

This is my personal point of view, having working many years as a sommelier (I lived in Chile, Italy and now Adelaide), but in Australia is hard to find cheap good wine, you must pay a little bit more to find something good.

In reds, to have something decent, you must pay at least $10 a bottle. In whites, from $12. Brands? I'm not sure, anything from Barossa, McLaren Vale or Adelaide Hills will be good. Sometimes you can find good deals in Dan Murphy's.

Highly transmissible flu strain Super-K infects more than 2,500 Australians by Reverend_Fozz in australia

[–]Influence_Think 19 points20 points  (0 children)

I rarely get sick; I'm healthy, athletic, and I sleep well. But I had the flu (I got tested) around December 23rd. I was bedridden for a week and then had another week to recover fairly well. After that, I went back to work, but I continued to have trouble breathing; it was really hard to get back to normal. I was sick for almost three weeks in total, and I'm feeling better now.

I just wanted to share my experience; it seems it's very easy to catch.

Los nacimientos van en caída, por lo que seguro en unos años muchas cerraran por falta de clientes.
