Dailymail - The survey ranks cities based on 30 factors such as healthcare, culture and environment, and education and personal safety.
TOP 10 U.S. CITIES
1. Pittsburgh
2. Honolulu
3. Washington DC
4. Chicago
5. Atlanta
6. Miami
7. Detroit
8. Boston
9. Seattle
10. Minneapolis
Worldwide, the Canadian city of Vancouver topped the list for the fifth time in a row, scoring 98 per cent overall. It was followed by Melbourne in Australia and Vienna in Austria. The rest of the top ten is dominated by other Canadian and Australian cities, with the exception of Finland's Helsinki, at number six, and New Zealand's Auckland, ranked at number ten. Pittsburgh came in at number 29 across the globe.
Really, #7 most liveable you say? That's interesting. I mean if liveability is based on closing half your schools and shutting down entire fire departments then yeah, I'd have to say Detroit is totally liveable. But I have to question the rubric when you're trying to tell me that Pittsburg is sweeter than Honolulu and that Detroit is in the upper echelon of US cities in terms of education and personal safety. Just because you can buy a city block for $10,000 doesn't mean the place is liveable. I mean you have to consider additional expenses like the 10 g's it's gonna cost your for all the dead body removal you'll have to do on your new property. Adds up quick.
But whatever this says about Detroit I'm just glad I don't live in a shithole like Boston, Seattle, or Minneapolis. Man, those places must be like Fallujah. Oh, and there's no way I'm not calling bullshit on Vancouver being #1 worldwide. I mean it's gotta be fricken easy to keep crime down when they bus all your crackheads out of town because you're hosting the Olympics. I'm just saying.
