Some might find living in Adelaide a bit boring. It’s a great city, but its relative isolation from the rest of the country and the distances, plus the increased migration of people to other big cities like Sydney, Melbourne or even Brisbane, may have left Adelaide behind. It was a time not long ago when Adelaide was indeed booming. Now, it was left behind by the other big Australian cities, including Perth.

The climate is another point of criticism, with dozens of days in a row at over 35 degrees, in a very dry heat.

Because of the relative proximity to Melbourne and the larger growth this city saw the last couple of years, you may see or read about people living in these two cities arguing which is better.

Some may also say Adelaide is a great place, but rather to retire, good for elders. It looks just like a big country town: if you hit the city, you may run into people that you know. And the calmness may come from …cannabis consumption.

Adelaide may not be the best place for amusements. It’s a nice place to live …if you don’t like doing anything. When people say Adelaide has the largest undercover market in the southern hemisphere, they may forget it is open for only half a day a week.

Not everybody loves Glenelg and the “world class” beaches close to Adelaide. The Glenelg beach is sometimes washed away and quite dirty.

Some living in Adelaide may also complain it is much more expensive than what people think. It is cheaper than Sydney or Melbourne in terms of housing and large properties, but in terms of food, dining, apartments and fashion, it tends to be quite a bit more expensive.
