Almost every other article of this kind is so incredibly long that it feels like a game of "spot the explanation".
In Australia, where the prevailing winds are also westerlies, the opposite is true. i.e. the east of most cities is more prestigious than the west.
I think that in Australian cities factors other than wind direction have a larger influence.
Short and to the point, lacking any kind of fluff. Very refreshing. Almost every other article of this kind is so incredibly long that it feels like a game of "spot the explanation".

There's an interesting discussion (and some suggestions) about the North/South divide here: http://www.skyscrapercity.com/showthread.php?t=1126279
Earlier quoted context omitted.
Out of interest, is that typical on both coasts? Just wondering if the river direction has anything to do with it.
I don't know about Perth, but it's definitely true in Sydney (Ocean on the east) and Melbourne (Ocean on the south).
In Brisbane much of the east of the city is taken up by port and airport, so not such a desirable area.
