I lived in Canberra for several years and while it does have some good points I wouldn't live there again. The good points are:
Great parks for kids
Well set out
Good roads
Good bikeways
Close to the snow for a weekend.
Bad Points
Huge hard drug problem
Big crime problem
Employment is mostly Government and Military.
I ran smack bang into the hard drug problem several times. Once my son ran over a couple of used drug needles that were just discarded on the grass in one of the main parks.
After that I checked everywhere we went and the same thing happened several times while I was there but lucky I kept checking so no injury occurred. I saw two young people die in the city centre from overdose and met many people who had similar experiences. I was living in a good area at the time. This is such a problem in Canberra that they have a number you ring and a squad of workers come around and clean them up.
