SMH: Sydney in top 20 expensive cities: survey

I read in the SMH today that Sydney is in the top 20 expensive cities.

Here are the top 25 cities (with last year's ranking):

  1. Tokyo (1)
  2. London (7)
  3. Moscow (2)
  4. Osaka, Japan (3)
  5. Hong Kong (4)
  6. Geneva (6)
  7. Seoul, South Korea (8)
  8. Copenhagen, Denmark (15)
  9. Zurich, Switzerland (9)
  10. St Petersburg, Russia (12)
  11. Beijing (5)
  12. New York (10)
  13. Milan, Italy (17)
  14. Dublin, Ireland (21)
  15. Oslo, Norway (13)
  16. Shanghai, China (11)
  17. Paris (23)
  18. Istanbul, Turkey (42)
  19. Vienna, Austria (34)
  20. Sydney, Australia (67)

I'm not surprised. The cost of living in Sydney, especially the cost of housing, is outrageous.
