Most of these cities have government that went full Karen during the virus shutdown, racial strife and squalor.
Anti American Euro nonsense.
Yeah, Switzerland is great, if your net worth is about $10 million.
If there is any truth to this crap, why aren’t all the foreign freeloaders sneaking into those countries. That just isn’t happening. They are all sneakin’ into America.
I heard Vancouver has become a homeless cesspool just like San Francisco.
The economist calls for everyone to live in cities, then releases a short list of “livable” cities...
The truth is between the lines, yes?
I’ve lived in the #1 city. Vienna is definitely a pretty city and it has a great deal to offer by way of culture and history - certainly equal to if not better than Paris in that regard.
That said, I hope you are quite well off because Vienna is EXPENSIVE. Even among Western European cities which are expensive, Vienna is more expensive. Its on a par with Swiss cities when it comes to the prices for everything. So if you don’t have the money, Vienna isn’t so great because you’re not going to be able to afford to do anything or go anywhere.
Oh, I’ve also lived in Geneva. Like Vienna it is terribly expensive. I remember a mid priced type restaurant....think TGI Fridays or something comparable had hamburgers that cost $27. This was 24 years ago! So that burger is probably over $50 today. Starting to get an idea as to how expensive things are?
I’ve been to Copenhagen and Zurich. Same deal. Expensive as hell. By this point Copenhagen is probably starting to get overrun with feral 3rd worlders. The Swiss were a lot more strict about who they let in so Zurich and Geneva are probably still OK.
If you want real livability in Europe try Budapest. It was easily my favorite city on that continent and I lived in Budapest twice. I’ve heard Prague is similarly nice. It sure looked nice when I visited 3-4 times. Everything in Eastern Europe is a lot more affordable, its still beautiful and they did not allow their countries to be invaded by hordes of military age males from the 3rd world who have no respect for the place.
I’m glad they stick with cities. Way out here in the rural areas is nowhere for a city slicker to be...
A livable city is an oxymoron.
That index is racist. (/s)
Hmm, no issues with Muslims there, I take it? /s
I was going to guess Wilburton, Ok….. population 2,400….. but it is more like a town instead of a city.
Visited Copenhagen two years ago for the first time in twenty years. Beautiful city, clean, nice people, easy to get around. The downsides: very expensive for dining and drinking, and a long dark winter.
What if you have zero interest in living in a city and just want to visit? Unlike Zsa Zsa Gabor, city life ain’t for me
Then which cities are on the list for the best visit?
Americans will probably consider most cities in the world “unlivable” - in the sense that so many of us like to drive big cars, shoot guns, and have our nearest neighbor’s house be half a mile away. This list just shows that Vienna, Melbourne, etc. offer a superior form of ant colony for those inclined to live under custodial government care. :)
How could Lagos be anything but LAST PLACE?
