Didn't think Perth would be that high..how shite is the rest of the world?

[Honey Honey]

Isn't Rolf Harris from Perth?

They obviously haven't taken the cost of living into account much, haha.

I've never seen the term liveable before. What does it mean?

[nudge]

In this particular survey, "livability" score was apparently calculated by ranking each city a total score out of 100 for stability, healthcare, culture and environment, education and infrastructure. Worth mentioning: the final report is sold to corporations so they can decide on extra pay levels for executives who move abroad. 

[Honey Honey]

Does that mean Chazz gets a pay rise? 

[nudge]

Only if he leaves for Damascus.

To the German contingent; Hamburg worthy of that place? Let's take this article with a pinch of salt though of course.

Fucking Melbourne, hahahaha, only if you want smashed avocado sangers and $6 lattes. What cunt has the money to live in Melbourne that doesn't already live there? 

Helsinki  Tell that to the alcoholic and suicidal Fins that live there.

Hamburg is a nice and very accessible city, and less expensive compared to most other big cities in Western Europe and the rest of the World. Well at least it used to be, no idea how it is now. 

[The Artful Dodger]

Hamburg has a boss miniature wonderland place but was really seedy in places, good laugh but seedy.

I mean Vancouver is similar in that regard too, hence why alot of people like me live in suburbs. Im like an hour an change outside of it. The sad part about these cities is the locals get priced out of living there quite frequently.

Toronto as one of the most livable cities Please someone spare me! This place is more expensive and more shit by the day. The most hilarious thing is that the TTC was awarded best transit system in North America in 2016 when it has some of the highest prices and shittest service on the entire fucking continent. There's skyrocketing poverty and homelessness rates, food bank use rises drastically every year, we have one of the highest child poverty rates, meanwhile the city and province spends its money on a giant rubber duck to float in the harbour. Rental prices are through the roof since all they want to do is make condos for foreign investors (usually east Asian or middle eastern) to buy to make it seem like people are actually buying the units. Its one of the most shittest and boring cities in the continent frankly. Funny to see Vancouver up there too when they got similar problems with the housing/rental market. Both cities will get what's coming to them when that housing bubble bursts.

[Panflute]

didn't know the definition of liveable was 'boring and full of detestable yuppies and middle class bores'

[Harry]

Astonishing to think melbourne tops a list like this. It's so fucking expensive here. Surely affordability has got to be a huge part of the equation. They obviously don't weight that one highly enough. 

[Panflute]

in the end this just boils down to city marketing. the real 10 most liveable cities will be places nobody has heard of, because the metropolis is universally awful

[nudge]

All those surveys are just designed to help multinational corporations determine what kind of relocation package they will offer to their expat workforce, it has little to no meaning beyond that context.

So much butt hurt in this thread for a list that really has no "meaning".

All the real hurt seems to be from people who actually live or grew up in places on the list 

[nudge]

It would be interesting to see a proper list of most expensive cities to live in.

Sydney is amazing, from the botanic gardens to the Opera House and Bridge, The Rocks, Darling Harbour, Manly, Palm Beach, Bondi and the Eastern suburbs to Surry Hills and Newtown.

Literally class and has just about everything you want from a city from class beaches, great weather, a million things to do around the city and the landmarks that go with it.
