The main metrics I have been looking at are; population growth, immigration laws, housing appreciation history, unemployment rates, vacancy rates, diversity in economy, median house price/median rent.Sydney I chose based off somewhat recent changes leading to more jobs and population growth in that area.

If you build 22,000 single family homes this year in Austin and 25,000 multi family and assume an average occupation of 2 per household that's 72,000 people; almost double of the current immigration rate of 36,000 per year.

Sadiy, in essence, we pay the unfortunates so they don't rob and murder us.All the people making believe it is okay to work without paying taxes, paying for licenses, insurance, payroll taxes, etc. in my book are GREEDY THIEVES and they are robbing and destroying the world around them.This subject raises another hair on the back of my neck and that is the subject about people not wanting illegal immigrants stealing our jobs, not paying taxes and getting billions of dollars in free medical, using our school systems, hospitals and people complain all the time, but those same greedy people use the illegals they hate to mow their lawns, doo 90% of the construction etc, and then it is okay to cheat on taxes, etc.I am not okay with double standards for the greed of money.
