Best City In The World To Live In?

Chicago , real estate is still somewhat affordable, good tech jobs, public schools in the city are horrible but most of the suburban public schools are pretty top notch and the city has some great universities. Fantastic nightlife and tons of culture and some of the best restaurants in the world. And compared to most big cities chicago is pretty darn clean. Plus we have the largest supply of fresh water in the world right on our shores. And dont forget about our sports teams the Bulls, Bears, World Series Champion White Sox, the Blackhawks and the Fire.

Happy New Year

 

-> Iceland --- In the capital city Reykjavik

+ Food is great
+ People are great
+ Water is great (It's clean + doesn't cost anything , you can drink it out of the sink)
+ Chicks are awesome
+ Nature is great
+ Almost every Icelander speaks English as a second language
+ New Years Eve is amazing
+ Every Icelander loves to party
And many more.....


- Can be very cold

 

I have heard great things about Iceland, never been there but its on the vacation list, sooner or later I'll get there.

 

Well really do not have the time to read each and every post in this thread, but at any given point of time I live in two cities. 1 is permanent and the other is not so permanent(I move around a lot i guess).

The permanent many may agree is the best..

And My Personal Award To The Best City To Live In Is:-

The 'Internet'-City

Three cheers to globalization and the art of networking.

 

I think its Tokyo.
But not sure.

 

Nice to here

 

hmmm lemme guess ummm NEW YORK CITY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

For partying, Las Vegas beats any city out there hands down.

 

Actually its just the Underground, train stations, Airports, Bus Shelters and places with high densities of people.
There are trash cans in some areas of London, just not enough.
And as a City, it stinks, Zone 1 gets cleaned regularly, but not the rest.

 

How about RIO gentlemen))))))

NOBODY)))))

 

A buddy of mine lived in Rio for awhile and the things which he remembers best are:

• Used needles and condoms littering the beaches where he was trying to run.
• Begging children everywhere.
• Vigilante groups murdering the begging children to keep their population down.

 

moscow, russia !! and for you guys who just watch the news, its not -40 here in the winter.

 

Moscow recently moved into the top spot on the list of most expensive cities to live in.

For cost reasons, dump Moscow, Seoul, Tokyo, Hong Kong, London, Osaka, Geneva, Copenhagen, Zurich, Oslo, and New York City.

Instead, look at Asuncion, Buenos Aires, Manila, Karachi, Bangalore and Montevideo.

 

is THAT all

 

income is quite good, but depends on your job. the real bonus is that living there is quite cheap compared to other countries if it comes to rent, electricity, gas and this expenses...

 

With a 47% tax rate, all other goods and services would have to be dirt cheap just for the people to afford them!

 

Yeah ... i do agree

 

Amsterdam smells bad. I used to live a couple hours South of Amsterdam though. Eindhoven has most of the comforts of a big city, with none of the major drawbacks. Plus, the Dutch (unlike most Europeans) are mostly pro-American and English literacy is high.

 

you should start your own 'places NOT to live' blog

 

I do have a project similar to that.

Unfortunately, Expat Destinations is a long long long way from being useful. I need to find a few hundred hours for that project.
