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.

Back then clearly I was wet behind the ears product manager and likely didn’t pay attention to all (efficient) things Japanese. But today I did and of course continue to be impressed. It is as much the obvious stuff like on time travel that is both clean and comfortable and all that which makes it possible. The impressive landmark and landscapes that these humans have put together despite their cramped (or because of it) surroundings and precarious geological conditions could amaze a novice architect among us. But it’s also the little things that someone had to think about which have a phenomenal impact on day to day lives that make the Japanese stand apart. Below are few random examples- 1. Providing a very fine machined wooden toothpick in every packet of wooden chopsticks. The said chapsticks are simply set on the To Go counter of any food vendor/ convenience store wher...
