I was in Oslo for the first time in December. Any place that has daylight from 9:30 AM to 3:30 PM, and is near freezing through much of the year is not going to be my first choice of places to live.

Also, the native food is horrible, there is a reason why Norway is the per-capita largest consumer of frozen pizza in the world.

But, the people are nice and downtown is beautiful.

Not to mention the 60% tax rate.

They have never used any metrics which represents REAL reasons people would want to live in a place in these stupid UN surveys. Its always been a running joke, back when Canada was always #1 every year, that this was a backhanded complement. Fools always lauded it though.

Any survey like this should include at the minimum, how many people migrate in vs how many migrate out, and what the composition of those people are.
