Absolutely Australia has a huge housing crunch. No getting around that.

But everyone has healthcare. Everyone has university. Minimum wage is way, way higher than the US. Employee protections are huge (at will employment is criminal). Even the worst jobs have great paid time off and maternity leave. Overtime is paid, by law. Working 60 hours a week is unheard of.

Quality of life is much, much higher.
