US "the best"?
The Economist Intelligence Unit doesn't think so.
Their survey "ranked 140 cities on 30 factors such as healthcare, culture and environment, and education and personal safety, using research involving resident experts and its own analysts" and decided the US doesn't have one city in the top ten.
Ouch.
Following is a list of the top 10 most liveable cities as ranked by The Economist:
1. Vancouver, Canada
2. Vienna, Austria
3. Melbourne, Australia
4. Toronto, Canada
5. Calgary, Canada
6. Helsinki, Finland
7. Sydney, Australia
8. Perth, Australia
9. Adelaide, Australia
10. Auckland, New Zealand
Neighbor Canada, however (you know the one--"Socialist Canada", the one with mass transit and national health care for all?) has 3 cities in the "top ten."
More ouch.
Between this and health care (we rank 37th in mortality rates, internationally, folks), we just keep getting put in our place, so to speak, don't we? So much for that "we're number one!" crap, huh?
The good news?
We didn't have any cities in the "bottom 10", either.
Thank goodness for that silver lining.
Those Socialist hell-holes Canada and Australia are looking pretty good, aren't they. Obama better check the nation's pulse again. We're a lot more "liberal" than he seems to be.
ReplyDeleteyeah, hell-hole Canada, right? I loved Toronto, alone. I'd love to check out Vancouver.
ReplyDeleteGood to hear from you, GOP. It's been a while. Hope you and SD are well.
