Nah I LOVE melbourne I wouldn't want to live anywhere else. I've lived in some of the busy areas too. I remember when we lived in Prahran it would take us 10 minutes by car to get to coles to get groceries due to traffic, which was about the same as by foot LOL! I am in the burbs though, but even when I go into the city I still love it. It's not my birthplace but it is my home and I don't think that will change anytime soon.
