Take that

[Dinner]

For all your whining about San Diego (mostly just to get under my skin I know) we got voted the second most favorite city where Americans would like to live. Right behind NYC which I believe you also don't like.

Interestingly NYC was voted both the most liked and least liked city in the US.

[Krill]

More proof that Americans are idiots.

[Asher]

Are you this pathetic?

You've already had a thread on this last month.

Holy ****, Oerdin. You lose.

The fact that NYC is #1 discredits this list.

[rah]

Needless to say I changed the thread title. An easy judgement call.

[Dinner]

This is a new one Asher. Back to back good showings.

It looks like most people don't agree with you.

[Naked Gents Rut]

The fact that NYC is #1 discredits this list.

Agreed.

[Dinner]

It's based on the percentage of people who said they'd like to move there. If you don't agree then fine but the methodology is sound.

I'm fairly sure Asher is happy to disagree with most people, as by some definitions, most people are idiots...

So it's based more on wishful thinking than reality. Thanks.

By the way, this was in the news recently. It's a worldwide survey of the best cities to live in:

Top 10:

Vancouver
Melbourne
Vienna
Geneva
Perth
Adelaide
Sydney
Zurich
Toronto
Calgary

I see a ton of world-class cities, but San Diego isn't there. In fact, not a single American city is.

It was based on reasonable metrics:

The EIU ranked 127 cities in terms of personal risk, infrastructure and the availability of goods and services.

rather than the wishful thinking of random Americans.

I'd like to move to L.A., because I hear it's easy to become a movie star. Must be a great place to live!

[Asher]

Let's show, in pictoral form, why Calgary is better than SAN DIEGO.

Pictures were taken by moi last week in the mountains just outside Calgary:

[Japher]

whatever, look at that traffic!

[Asher]

Indeed. Take that!

[SlowwHand]

It's cold. I want San Diego for the weather, or at least somewhere similar.
