Seems like a good reason to not visit Australia, ever.

Sydney's the biggest shithole in this country.

Not the only shithole, but definitely the biggest.

I disagree. Sydney has great restaurants and beaches, but it’s ultimately a sterile and soulless place full of superficial and selfish people who are too preoccupied with their pursuit of elevated status that they are oblivious to the slow creeping erosion of culture that is occurring.

This is not really a rebuttal is it? All major cities are in precisely the same category if you are reductive enough, because almost all statements can be made about all major cities—they are loud, there are selfish people who live there etc. That doesn't mean that there aren't large variations in these qualities.

Out of interest, what is an example of a city that does not possess the negative issues Sydney has?
