read the article. but if your too lazy:

It looked at 12 factors including housing, education, recreational activities and climate, rating every city on a five-point scale in each category, with five indicating extreme hardship.

and the women are hotter. Spanish women

that is the most important consideration

[Dis]

Lexington, Kentucky

and my city is not on that list. Of course we are last in every education category. We have the hightest suicide rate, highest smoking rate, hightest teen pregnancy rate, etc.

New York is filled with super models...

[Japher]

way to go Australia, they go a lot of cities in there.

[Dis]

I actually find super models ugly. I wouldnt' touch Naomi Campbell with a 10 foot pole. Don't get me started on twiggy. Even when she was young she was ugly

[rah]

Heck, most of the people that work there don't want to live there. (and don't)
It's a crime ridden, cesspool with no allys downtown so they put their garbage out in front of the buildings. Real attractive out in front of an expensive resturant. NewYorkers proudly proclaim they love it only because they're stuck living there. What are they supposed to say? "this place sucks".

I'm surprised it ranked as high as it did.


RAH
Waiting for NewYorkers to check in.

19. Amsterdam, Netherlands
28. (tie) Brussels, Belgium

hehe, as always, we're ahead

[Dis]

these results are very liberal biased. Who gives a **** about education? . Hence all the silly Australian and European leaders. Sure they are great places to live, but are they great places to find good paying jobs and make money?

But seriously no greedy capitalist in his right mind would live in Europe. The money to be made is in towns like New York, Chicago, Los Angeles, Seattle, and Las Vegas. Towns like Houston and Atlanta might also be good places to make money as well as south Florida.

look at the top 10 (or 8)

Europe: 7
Australia: 6
Canada: 3

USA: 0
Japan: 0

Damn, Hull isn`t on the list.

Monaco beats Las Vegas any day of the week

[Dis]

I have never been there, but I still can't see them making as much money as the businesses in Las Vegas. We also have the illegal sex industry where I live. And those whores charge very high prices- not that I'd know... I'm too poor.
