public transport : it's nothing like london that's for sure. Cars are the transport mode of choice. If you want public transport in brisbane, make sure you live near an established rail or bus route.
buildings : I agree this is an issue in Brisbane CBD. There are only a handful of buildings that appear to have been designed with longevity in mind. However I am thinking more along the lines of heritage type buildings, whereas you use the word "innovative"... what do you mean by innovative?
politicians : no comment, heh heh.
roads : I live on the northwest of Brisbane, the roads are great.
urban planning : tricky one. It's all relative really. What other towns / cities are you thinking of that have done this well ?
overpriced restaurants / coffee shops : Yes there are a few too many of these. But there are also a few that are reasonably priced and do superb food.

There was an article in the paper the other day saying that Brisbane was known for events rather than any permanent attractions.

Re: Brisbane is.................
Melbourne has continued its dominance as Australia’s most liveable city and most popular interstate tourist destination according to new research by Roy Morgan.
The latest research shows Australians now consider Melbourne to be the best city for: hosting world-class sporting and cultural events; cafés, bars and nightclubs; food experiences and world-class restaurants; shopping and retail; world class golf courses; hosting musicals and theatre shows; and regional experiences close to the city.
Melbourne now outperforms Sydney, Brisbane and Adelaide on all major indicators in the survey to show that the city has come a long way over the past decade
The research is supported by the latest domestic visitor numbers which show Melbourne is the most popular city in Australia with 708,000 more interstate overnight visitors choosing Melbourne over Sydney.

I like melbourne and have pushed it on most overseas visitors and have yet to have any impressed, I cant even get enthusiasm from qld visitors. As my post said, I dont buy the 'world class' thing about any aussie city. And melbournes not european, its just more like croyden (sorry who said that ) than anywhere else in OZ.
Besides Aussies only have a handful of cities to choose from, so Ive no doubt melb gets a lot of visitors. You run out of major cities pretty quickly here.

Re: Brisbane is.................
I guess as we're enthusiastic about everything here it must rub off on them!
