WHILE residents of Melbourne enjoy another year in the world’s most liveable city, according to the 2015 Global Liveability Ranking from our corporate cousin the Economist Intelligence Unit, spare a thought for those who live in the 57 cities that have steadily deteriorated over the last five years.
The ranking, which considers 30 factors related to things like safety, healthcare, educational resources, infrastructure and environment in 140 cities, shows that since 2010 average liveability across the world has fallen by 1%, led by a 2.2% fall in the score for stability and safety. Ongoing conflicts in Syria, Ukraine and Libya have been compounded by terrorist shootings in France and Tunisia as well as civil unrest in America. In Athens, austerity rather than unrest has weighed on the provision of public services, while Kiev saw the sharpest fall over the last 12 months and is now among the ten least liveable cities ranked.
The most liveable places, notes the EIU, tend to be “mid-sized cities in wealthier countries with a relatively low population density”, which explains the low ranking of near-megacities like London and New York and goes some way to explaining Melbourne’s continued place in the sun.
What!!! No cities from Africa in the top ten? Those racists...exercising their “white privilege, I suppose.
Who'd want to live in America, the famous hell-hole of racism? Well, other than the millions of people who walk across our borders every year. But they don't count. Don't pay any attention to them, you racist! Look at me! Over here! Yes...
By the way, I couldn't help but notice that every single one of those top-ten cities is about as white as a piece of Wonder Bread. Except maybe Vancouver, which is practically owned by persons of Chinese ancestry.
But they don't count as minorities, do they?
LOL. Pathetic LOL.
Yeah, and I’ve heard it’s very hard to get Australian citizenship. Very, very hard.

And the gun control laws in OZ make it unliveable for me!
If our cities are so bad, why are millions of people coming here to live.
