Maybe other cities. Perth is not. I breathe much better when I get 75kms out of the city and become a normal human being again.

The smell of sulfur in 91 Petrol is very noticeable. Bushfires blow smoke across the whole metro area. One in three Australians are allergic to grass pollens.

Combined with the recent architectural changes (installing the world famous blender Default Cube everywhere) and increasing cliquey isolation, it has become quite difficult to enjoy the city life.

It's often a battle not to leave.

Though I'm not supposed to say the truth so much, it bothers people.
