Perhaps they are right. Or, maybe not. How does anyone afford to live in Sydney on an FO wage now? Call it $140K. Great, but a house anywhere within reasonable driving distance of the airport is easily over a million. Maybe just rent an apartment? Awesome for raising a family. Maybe I'll live in a regional town and commute in to work? Ah, commuting isn't a thing in Aus either. Luckily command will be only ten years away, then you can afford to live there.
