Well I am bit too old to be worried about lockout laws, but it is my understanding that they just apply to a fairly limited area and there are heaps of places that are not affected.

I think a bigger issue is the ludicrous rents. We are paying SF/NYC/London rents, but wages for developers are not anywhere near the level they are in these cities. We do have very nice beaches and fantastic weather - today is just perfect in Sydney.

Yeah, I guess it affects someone like me (or younger) more. It does only affect a small area of the city, but that part now becomes dead after midnight, and the problems that used to be encountered have just shifted to other neighbourhoods.

I actually think we are paying more in rent than the cities mentioned. The only place where I can think of higher rent is in SF.

The only thing more crazy than rents in Sydney is the house prices.
