Have you been to Toronto or Vancouver ? wheelwright Send a noteboard - 31/08/2011 04:02:01 PM
Can't comment on the rest, but both Toronto and Vancouver have a large ethnic population.

Funny that you only count "Black, Hispanic or Arab" but leave out every other part of the world in your definition of non-white.

I also don't think Australia, New Zealand, or Vancouver count as being a cold climate.

As for socialized medicine, I am sure that did play a role, as I would think part of assessing the livability of a place would be the accessibility of affordable health care.

How do you call towns "cities"? Tom - 30/08/2011 08:12:27 PM 856 Views
I thought you were going to mention Perth. The rest are clearly cities, if you ask me. Legolas - 30/08/2011 08:23:33 PM 825 Views
Perth has 1.7 million people. Nate - 30/08/2011 08:30:26 PM 984 Views
You kind of inadvertently prove the point... Legolas - 30/08/2011 09:21:18 PM 1056 Views
So I see! Nate - 30/08/2011 09:45:27 PM 1070 Views
A million people isn't a city? Nate - 30/08/2011 08:28:20 PM 986 Views
Not necessarily. Tom - 30/08/2011 10:49:08 PM 958 Views
You could be right re: population density. Nate - 30/08/2011 11:06:36 PM 888 Views

to meet their definition of best it also seems to help if you have mostly white random thoughts - 31/08/2011 01:52:11 PM 845 Views
Have you been to Toronto or Vancouver ? wheelwright - 31/08/2011 04:02:01 PM 858 Views

As a comparison ... Nate - 30/08/2011 08:37:28 PM 1012 Views
that can be a little misleading random thoughts - 30/08/2011 09:18:22 PM 941 Views
Point taken. Nate - 30/08/2011 09:49:54 PM 1035 Views

Livability obviously doesn't include "Concentration of Venomous Creatures". *NM* TaskmasterJack - 30/08/2011 11:43:43 PM 461 Views
or perhaps Australian cities rank so high because they're so much better than the alternative Zaphod - 30/08/2011 11:58:47 PM 1020 Views
Actually, the reason our cities are so liveable is because they're built to keep said creatures out Colonel Logain - 31/08/2011 12:59:01 AM 820 Views
How? ironclad - 31/08/2011 08:20:01 AM 816 Views
I can't risk putting the answer on a public forum, the venomous creatures may find out Colonel Logain - 01/09/2011 07:26:52 AM 761 Views
Why no Boston? *NM* Ghavrel - 31/08/2011 12:16:28 AM 443 Views
Annoyingness of local sports fans was also taken into consideration. *NM* TaskmasterJack - 31/08/2011 12:31:21 AM 561 Views
Obviously the study group consists of Yankees fans. Poor, unfortunate souls. *NM* Ghavrel - 31/08/2011 12:46:17 AM 425 Views
A low population density seems to be a key determinant in these rankings Colonel Logain - 31/08/2011 12:51:45 AM 809 Views
