Sydney Or Not To Sydney, That Is The Question

I'm weighing the pros and cons of moving to Sydney:

PROS:
1) Averagely higher paying salary.
2) Probability of landing a job is easier as there are more job opportunities.
3) There are more shops/bars/clubs in Sydney than in boring lifeless Canberra.
4) My sister and brother in law is in Sydney - which means we can have weekly dinner and shopping spree dates.
5) Averagely cheaper rent. (Saw a couple of beautiful places in North Ryde that costs $270 - $330 for the whole apartment a week, which the husband and I could still afford atm. We are renting ONE room now in a shared house for $200 a week not inclusive of bills and internet.)
6) We can go to the beach whenever we want.
7) My brother in law (the husband's brother) is moving to Sydney, so this means it will be easier for the parents in law to visit us as now they would have to visit us in Canberra then to Sydney to visit him.
8) Mamak is in Sydney.
9) Sydney is way cooler. And I don't just mean the weather.
10) Sydney's Harbour Bridge is awesome.
11) Sydney's Opera House is awesome.
12) Apparently, food is cheaper.
13) Blue Mountain is nearby!
14) It's nearer to Gold Coast! Gold Coast baby! Gold Coast!!
15) Better public transportation
16) More things to do / more places to go to on a boring Saturday night.
17) Better weather than Canberra.
18) Less 'kampung'.


CONS:
1) I hate moving.
