"How do you know Adelaide is going backwards to be able to say that for definite? That is your view, your opinion, not everyone elses."

 

Adelaide Facts: 1) Rising Unemployment, 2) Declining manufacturing, 3) Increasing commercial property vacancies...do I need to go on to support his point that economically it is contracting and the last time I checked that would be a significant step backward. There are other tangible benefits to living in Adelaide but without work it's hardly going to matter. As for these ridiculous comments negating the comparative value of assessing Adelaide to London or Sydney et al. that is what is done by such highly regarded institutions sych as The Economist Intelligence Unit have done to establish such lists as world's most liveable cities. I would suggest you refrain from chastising someone without providing some facts. Adelaide has some serious issues engrained within its cultural heritage, that notwithstanding its climate is moderate, it's clean, arguably safer than most cities then again there is only a million people here, but the backward thinking nature of government and mismanagement is astounding. However, if you happen to have a job and long for clean healthy living, the beaches are serene and produce is fabulous. I have travelled and worked extensively and frankly the security job front that is so prevalent here covers up some significant issues of incompetence, corruption and if they were to do one thing and one thing alone that being change labour laws favour employers not unlike the USA and for that matter UK the ability to terminate and increase staff turnover would stimulate the employment sector. If one is laying off 10% every year to create opportunties for new people with new ideas and better worth ethics well it only follows efficiency improves as does profitability and growth follows. When a lacklustre staff member is entrenched and protected its hard to get rid of them the impact extends beyond the company.

Interesting comments regarding the states' efforts, below there is the the recent 250+ delegation from adelaide to china tells me two things, 1 desperation, clueless and ineptitude (deals in china are done on long term individual relationships) and 2 Junket for local councillors payed by you.
