As surveys go here is another one that ranks the world's cities according to their livability index. Melbourne, Australia topped the list. Vienna in Austria and Vancouver in Canada's west coast took the third spot.
Now clearly one thing that rings true for all the top cities is a very very low population density number. Less number of people on vast tracts of land with the exception being Austria; results in more resource for less demand - less squabbling all round. This is somewhat crude way of arriving at the dartboard to see who will top the list. But the detailed survey actually does end up reviewing these things in so many ways.
NY NY scored in the 50s with New Delhi, India's capital city ranking at a 112.
Although the rankings do miss out on some aspects of daily life in the form of whiff of racism, biases and subjective behavior from the locals. I have been to all the cities listed above except for Austria and can attest that Vancouver has lousier climate year round but is a friendlier town amongst the list.
Food choices for a desi palate are probably the widest in New Delhi if you know where to look and then can brave up to visiting the place to get your fix.
Attractions are probably the most in NY NY.
If you like the outdoors and can spare a lot of cash then Melbourne sure has a lot going on.
This autumn the weather gods cooperated as we took a family trip in the northeast to see six states that qualify or makeup what is known colloquially in America as New England. Mass, Maine, Vermont, New Hampshire, Connecticut and Rhode Island (tiniest state in the union). The outing helped tally up the states we either lived in, visited or have worked in to 47. Guess which three have eluded this intrepid traveling family. Any rate the drive was all in about 1,800 miles and included some memorable geographic wonders or points of interest. Easternmost part of state of Massachusetts being one. Furthest drivable road east in Mass being another. Visit to all Ivy League schools (term harkens to a collegiate athletics conference and generally regarded as elite academic institutes of some repute worldwide) is another random bucket list item of which this trip afforded the chance to knock two more of the list. Dartmouth in Hanover, NH and Brown (and its sister institute the RISD - school f
