Bloody Queenslander!

cant be denied.

I actually do like Sydney, it is a nice place, I just think Brisbane, Perth and Darwin are even nicer.
The rating is about quality of life though, not 'niceness', so I guess real estate pricing, grocery/utility costs etc would all play a part that Im not really factoring in.

I just judge places by how nice a time I had there, how freindly the people were and how much fun I had .

With all I've heard on this board, I'm surprised Dixon isn't in the top 10.

Well, I live in Munich, and it's the perhaps the cleanest, safest, excellent transport system, everything is recycled, lots and lots of beer.... and possibly the friendliest city I've ever been to. Most things are cheaper than the UK too.

bogus stats, it's all personal perspective suiting your lifestyle. the number one place should be where you currently reside or close to it, otherwise you're daft and should move.

I'd like to visit them all.

I don't mind visiting big cities but the thought of actually living there gives me the creeps.

The criteria they use for picking the best places has little or no value to me. If I added the criteria that is important to me then none of them would rank very high.

clearly biased. any survey that doesn't conclude that the only ideally fit place for humanity is Florida is flawed.

Shouldn't national defense be a priority when considering quality of life ?

The swiss have been doing alot of things right though. Low taxes, low socialization of government, privately owned firearms encouraged, low crime rate, the alps, white chicks that aren't fat.
