Even if you are somehow correct, how many people do you know that regret moving here? I can think of three former forum members.

Having moved 24 times, I can attest that the only way to really get to know the place is to actually live there. This is why I recommend renting for at least a year.
By the way, we lived in Melbourne three times for a total of 8 years, and while there, I visited friends in TV many times and had chances to do some exploring and hear stories straight from the TVer's mouth. Also in Melbounre we had a good friend who had relatives working and living in TV. Yes, I know of several people who regretted moving there due to the heat but could not afford to move back or were too embarrassed to admit their mistakes. But I also know of several who said they loved it there especially during the winters which I can certainly understand very well. After discovering how hot and humid it really was, some of them sheepishly stayed with their northern friends and relatives for 2-3 months.
