It would have helped if the title had mentioned "Brisbane, California" rather than just Brisbane. I clicked this thinking they were considering moving to Australia for some random reason.

I agree... but for a totally different reason. I thought it was an incredibly bad joke considering that Brisbane, Australia has just been hit by the worst floods since 1974. The CBD and many suburbs are literally awash in water. It's a national disaster: http://www.heraldsun.com.au/news/special-reports/gallery-fn7... So... I was relieved to see the piece had absolutely nothing to do with the plight of Brisbane, Australia!

At first I thought, "This must be an article from a year ago, so we'd be like, 'aw MAN, they dodged a bullet'." Then I was like, "Oh man, I hope they're not trying to buy up recently flooded property on the cheap." Then I was like, "Oh. California. X'ing out."
