Where is San Diego

[The Emperor Fabulous]

37 BOSTON UNITED STATES 102.2

Still better than New York.

I note for some of my Poly friends that Edmonton is nowhere to be found on the list.

[MikeH]

No list of 221 cities in the world for a sample is going to include Edmonton.

I see Australia has 6 in the top 50. Not bad for a country with only 7 capital cities

[MOBIUS]

Hmmm, visited 21 and passed through another 2... Must try harder!

From my own experiences I'd definitely have to say that:

Wellington >>>>>>> Auckland (Auckland is ****)
Melbourne > Sydney

Also, of the US cities I've visited on the list, I'd probably go for Boston > San Francisco > New York > Washington > Honolulu

Hononulu!!? FFS!

What a crap survey...

Though I have to admit that I would put Vienna #1, or thereabouts...

[MOBIUS]

OK, so you get the Indy 500, but there must be some reason why no-one wants to live there. Usually, low prices mean few jobs.

Because it's full of Indianans...

STockholm is still the most enjoyable city I have visited...

For North America I have to agree with Boston except for the humidity.

[Dinner]

Half and half...it's perfect.

Jealousy sucks, Oerdin, get over it.

SoCal is polluted, dirty, crowded, hot, and in general a cliche and dull ****ing place. San Diego is great for hipsters and retirees -- nothing that would actually qualify as outdoor activities.

Naw, read'em and weep.

How would you rate the Belgian cities?

Again, based on where I've been: Ghent > Antwerp > Brussels > Bruges > Ostende.

To me, Ghent seems to be the perfect marriage of what a Belgian city has to offer.

I loved Ghent

What a joke. It isn't a listing of which cities are best for the outdoors, it's a listing for cities that spends on city parks (per resident) and has warm weather.

Turns out a financial magazine isn't a good choice for this kind of listing.

Edit: San Diego has 24 days of unhealthy air a year and it's still near the top?

I agree on Ghent being the nicest city in Belgium . Brussels for me is a hell hole.

[Kitschum]

In Bruges presented Bruges in a pretty good light. Otherwise I've only heard of Belgium in the context of bad driving.

[dannubis]

That must have been France... or Brussels
