How did they pick these cities?
Clearly, freezing your nuts off was not factored into the decision.

I find DC and Detroit funny entries for "livability' especially as they are two that are consistantly ranked in the top five per capita homicide cities...Not that I'm hating...I've lived in both for years...just sayin'...funny how statistics can say anything the author wants them to.

I think snow is pretty. And Christmas without snow is the weirdest thing ever.
------------i don't care about the freezing, it makes the people keep their clothes on. I hate the ugliness of summerfat.

(Jun 19 07, 09:34)I actually agree.
There are good and bad things to both warm and cold weather. It seems pretty juvenile to get into that, since you learn that in kindergarten.
Personally, I love the comfortable clothes you can wear more easily during the winter, but I also love the beautiful bodies during the summer. The bad side (besides the extreme cold or extreme heat), would be not getting to undress much during the winter, and seeing all that fat and people dressed especially poorly during the summer.
qruise, I think the body odor is more likely to come from people sweating in the summer than from anyone during the winter.
Having balance between these things is the best thing, imo, which is another reason why I stay here.
Anyway...I'll end my rant here.

DC is above Portland? wow...
i also find it hilarious that a city in the U.S. is no higher than 27th. awesome.
i also find it an interesting measure that this list, compiled by an publication dedicated to business and financial sucess, places the highest-ranking South American city to live in at 78th (MONTEVIDEO).....
... when the overwhelming majority of sources, cheap, and pillaged rsources to make said publications' successors come from that continent. funny how one will not sleep where they work...

"A new Mercer study ranks cities by the quality of life they offer expatriate executives and their families across the world"
expat execs? not really applicable.
