Board 8 > VANCOUVER is the Most LIVEABLE City in North America..NO US City Makes Top 10!!.

(+) Yeah! (+)

Melbourne, Vienna and Vancouver have been named the most LIVEABLE cities in a top 10 list of the Economist Intelligence Unit that doesn't include ANY American city!!

Damascus, a war torn city in Syria was the least liveable city, below both Lagos and Tripoli.

New York, London, Paris and Tokyo were all outside of the top 10 because of "high crime, congestion, and public transport problems"...

Several US cities have registered declines from the reports that "stems in part from unrest related to number of deaths of black people at the hands of police officers". Another factor was "protest held in response to President Trump's policies and executive orders".

The 2017 ranking was calculated by assessing 140 cities and giving them a score out of 100 on stability, healthcare, education, infrastructure and culture

Would you ever live in Canada? let's see what people will vote

Vancouver -

US isn't perfect. But I couldn't see myself living anywhere else.

A country where you can insult Christianity freely, but if you speak a word against islam, you go to jail? No thanks.

You can't be talking about Canada, right?
---

Melbourne having a perfect infrastructure ranking? Nope. Not a bad city overall though.

Apparently not as far as jail yet... UK's got you one-upped still.
---

Yeah, cause that's a reason not to live in Canada compared to the USA. Cause you want to shit on Islam.

You can stay there, thanks.
---

Too bad you can't afford to live here.

It's about free speech. What's more important than that?
---

I don't know how you keep finding ways to make misleading topic titles, but congrats!
---

That's not surprising. I've thought before that if I could live anywhere without worrying about the difficulty of relocating or employment etc, Vancouver would be a good choice.

Safety, Health, Quality of Life etc.

After spending a week in Vancouver, I can say that Vancouver is definitely a nice city as far as what I saw of it. I wouldn't mind living there at all, though I have no reason to move there and I imagine Canadian immigration is a pain too, so I would probably never do it. Certainly a nice place though.

oh yeah

how many y/o is canada

j/k they kept selling me stuff there that was saying it was 150 y/o (at least it's been that long since the Canadian Confederation)

how many y/o is british columbia

So then cattle have better lives than most men? Their owners keep them safe, healthy, and provide them with a carefree life, after all.
---

Oh man, I was wondering why I was dying. I'm not in a "liveable" enough city! How could I live somewhere that isn't liveable?!
---

Vienna is the best city ever so yeah. And I got to live there for two months.
---

If they'd have me.
---

Also XFD @ Toronto being 4th. Shit infrastructure, too much congestion, ridiculously expensive on every front: from housing to food/drink. How high were the people making this list?

In the contrary. Being able to insult christianity freely is awesome and I wouldn't be willing to live without such a right. As for islam, I can manage to keep my opinions to myself, plus you are exaggerating and I'm sure I would be able to find ways to get points across without getting into trouble because I'm good when it comes to things like phrasing and word selection.
---

Also, I would absolutely love to live in Vancouver. I'd rather live in Canada than the US, and from what I've read, the Pacific northwest has a climate that would be good for me. Only issue I have with Vancouver is that I don't see myself ever being able to afford living there.

They have free speech also, in the form of having the right to make "mooing" sounds whenever they please.

That's the closest I could find to anything besides top 10.

Only place I've been to near the top is San Francisco, and I have a hard time seeing that place as "liveable."
---

So Seattle dropped? Huh. I wonder why.

I go back and forth between Seattle and San Francisco a lot for work, and I like living in Seattle infinitely more.

Most liveavle if you're rich. They can't possibly be factoring in cost.

Yeah, Icon, me, charmander, turtle, and I believe TRE are all from Vancouver. I'm in Alberta right now but am currently saving up to move back there with the gf. It's honestly my favourite place in the world, love that city.

Haha, yeah. My few visits to San Francisco have convinced me I would never want to live there.

I mean, yes they absolutely do. What's your point?

the majority voted YES

My point is that there are precious few things that make us HUMAN, and you and other liberals would gladly part with them in exchange for things that do not separate us from animals in any way.

Your answers clearly demonstrate that. That is your whole ideology. That is your masters' end-goal - to turn humans into cattle.

You should get your head scanned. You might actually have a literal brain tumor.

One day I'll live in Canada I think. Don't know when or how. But it'll happen. It's my favourite foreign country
---

Probably in Victoria
---

Yup, we Canadians are humanity-less cattle because we don't actively try to slam and berate people for their religion. You have us all figured out.
