I posted first X. Too fast for ya!
Melbourne sucks.
Americans like it because it's colder, has more guns/drug lords/mafias, than a cool city like Sydney.
DIG IT.

Melbournite's are always welcoming Smashers. And no way is Sydney better than Melbourne city-wise!

Sydney is way too big. It takes forever to travel from one place to another.
Note: I was born in Sydney so naturally I would be defending it but it really does suck.

I don't find Melbourne boring, and if I want beaches and better weather I'll skip the crap and go to QLD.

Sydney has COOGEE BEACH.
It has a nice harbour.
And at least it doesn't try to promote itself with something as ****ty as the Yarra River...

the best smashers? SOS WHO WON YOUR NATIONAL BRAWLZ TOURNAMENTZ? A SYDNEYER
the best city? Which one has more people living there because they know it's superior? SYDNEY
the best everything? maybe your casino, nothing much else. You have the ****test river in the world, I can tell you that.
the ONLY forte? Everyone's unique, we have God on our side.
You got nothing.

Shaya, your arguments are really shallow. There are many reasons why people have left Sydney and flocking to Melbourne or Queensland (links - http://www.smh.com.au/articles/2008/03/02/1204402275498.html, http://www.abc.net.au/news/stories/2007/11/12/2087830.htm). Summing things up through a harbour, or a river, or a beach, or weather, rather than actual products of a city... "good looks aren't always enough."
Sydney and NSW is currently the most depressed state in Australia. The pre-olympic hype ended in over-speculation and a subsequent burst, combined with a weak state government that unfortunately has no vision for the city, has left it stagnanting. This has something to do with why there's so many immigrants (not only Americans, everyone from the world) coming down to Melbourne. Sydney's assets are natural and cater well for the one-off tourist. Once you've done those attractions, there is little substance to Sydney, and Melbourne's offerings are greater (better parks/gardens, nightlife, sport-AFL/Aussie Open/Grand Prix/Spring Carnival, architecture, arts, shopping, schools, transport, restaurants), which makes the city more interesting to stay and live, in many people's opinions. Melbourne wasn't always great. It's only been great for the last 10 years, since it entered revival mode.
Sydney has public transport that barely works, has racist ghettos, a trashy nightlife, a crime rate on par with the United States, sub-par shopping, ugly streets and buildings, no city planning whatsoever, all adds up to crap value for money.
It is one thing for people to love their own city - that's reactionary and quite normal. But it's another thing that many people I know from your own city would vouch for Melbourne anyday. That's saying something.
*2 cents*
FYI - anyone who can't find a good beach around Melbourne is a **** tourist. Also, why people are going to Queensland - LMX said it best.

Ya, sorry for not finding the other post, just hopped into an internet cafe to make a quick post. Interesting how quickly you guys respond though. As for your other topic, I've yet to goto Syndey, but I'm liking Melbourne

Hey old-school, I'll send you a text message soon. We've got a gathering happening this wednesday night in the city
... and probably thursday too.Cheers
Too much truth in CAOTIC's posts
You didn't have to go for the jugular!
I really, really, really, don't like the schools argument though.
Nightlife? Well in Winter Sydneysiders don't like going out in the cold, I know I don't.
Better parks? Ho ho ho ho. You even include NSW in that statement.
And the 'once you've seen the attractions, Sydney has little substance' is something I felt was the same reaction except towards Melbourne.
Anyway, god **** you bringing up the Government. And hitting me with my own hate of NSW that is public transport. Shot, hung, destroyed, etc.
