There are concerns the skyrocketing cost of living in Sydney, is forcing its most loyal residents to begin looking for a home elsewhere.

Sydney residents are being pushed to the limit, as the soaring cost of living in the city continues to break the budget.

A new study reveals more than half of Sydney residents are considering fleeing the city for more affordable locations.

But it seems there are a few other factors giving Sydneysiders incentive to leave, with locals also concerned with worsening traffic congestion, hospital waiting lists, crime, and petrol prices.

Load up the cities, centralise all business, make cities the only places with employment, then drop the new immigrants all in the 2 major cities....Hell I dont blame you for wanting to flee. Thing is, the rural areas have been left without to much of any kind of employment or services, no public transport to speak of (so you will need your car) very few banks, apart from the small branch run out of a PO, and the groceries cost more because of rising fuel costs anyway.LOL, so why flee, where to ?
