The Economist - Most Liveable Cities 2011

I find this hard to believe, but you are entitled to your personal opinion.

 

I'm pretty sure The Economist is an American publication, but whatever helps you sleep at night.

Since the top ten aren't American cities, the report must be biased, right?

 

Wow you are ignorant. I thought you Americans were starting to learn more about the world outside of your borders in the new information age?

Toronto is one of the most diverse cities in the world (plenty of sports other than hockey), the weather is the exact same as Detroit, New York, Chicago, and the myth of high Canadian taxes is just that - a myth. For example, we now boast the lowest corporate tax rate in the entire G7.

 

I heard Vancouver is nicknamed Hong-kouver because it has been overtaken by Chinese people.

My hong kong friend who visited said eh could spend the whole day there just speaking cantonese to people on the streets. He also said the chinese restaurants there are some of the best in the world even better than HKG and China

 

Auckland is very nice, specially in the earthquake season:

Can someone tell me when was the last time (year) a US city was on that list???

 

I've heard a lot of good things about Montreal.

 

The strip clubs will blow your mind.

 

That ranking is completely BS. You know that when you see it ranks Pittsburg the best city in the USA.

 

The best cities in the world are Amsterdam, London, Paris, and Rome.
