Nope, look at my link ;)

I can also buy 2 acres in Malibu (Los Angeles) with ocean views for $900,000 ($1million AU) when 1 acre in Berwick of all places costs $500,000 so 2 acres in Berwick should be $1million. Where would you rather have land in Berwick or Malibu as per square meter its the same cost.

Lets be realistic our average wage should be at least $106,000 p/a to compare with US prices as they seem to pay 1/3 what we do, and dont even get me started on how cheap fuel is over there compared to here.
So why are you still here in Australia?

I am just illustrating that we pay too much for things that are of higher price i.e cars and housing. If you read my post it was "where would you rather HAVE land" not where would you rather live.
