Ok well that you can rent in such a good location on a 70k income (assume USD?) means lifestyle in Perth IS much more attainable than on SFO which might require a 150k income.

Rents seem to be 300/W AUD for an appartment there. Nice. Here in Sydney it's double that. 300 gets you a room in a decent location.

Oh no sorry, that's 70k AUD - in USD I think it's about 55? But yeah Perth is quite cheap to rent in. Living costs are kind of high though, but they are really comparable to other states.

Moved from Perth to Melbourne last year with a nice 30% bump but rent is significantly more expensive here and it takes a lot longer to commute to the city.
