Apparently A Pretty Good Choice

Vancouver is the world's easiest city to live in while Harare is the toughest, a survey said Monday putting Europe and north America at the top while many African and Asian cities struggle behind.
Canadian and Australian cities hold six of the top 10 slots in the Economist Intelligence Unit's liveability poll, which ranks cities on five factors: health-care, stability, culture and environment, education and infrastructure.

I had selected Perth as a target city for possible immigration some years back, and was wondering how it fared today.

In ratings ranging from zero (intolerable) to 100 percent (ideal), Vancouver scores 98 percent, followed by Vienna in second place, then Melbourne, Toronto, Perth, Calgary, Helsinki and Geneva, with Sydney and Zurich in joint ninth place.

At the other end of the ranking, most of the poorest-performing locations are in Africa or Asia, where civil instability and poor infrastructure present significant challenges," said the surveys authors.

Perth comes in at 5th place, in the top ten most livable places on earth. Not bad.

However, a real sobering reality is that none of America's once "Shining cities on the hill" made the cut. Not one.

Health-care, stability, culture and environment, education and infrastructure.

All items that have been overstressed and overwhelmed by those millions and millions of uneducated and disease-carrying illegals that have been given Carte Blanche privileges to our safety nets and public services.

Just another one of those "unanticipated consequences" politicians can never see... And never want to talk about.
