Their metrics are skewed towards those countries.
No mention of unemployment rates, no mention of opportunity for personal financial growth?
No mention of access to hot women or beaches and mountains? Those are the things most (working) guys put in their Top 10 list.
What a joke.

Looks like a pretty good list to me.

Toronto. Meh.

Pretty good list. I've really enjoyed all of the cities I've been to that are on it.

I was surprised to see Brussels as high as it was because of Muslim extremists reportedly residing there.

Can't speak to all the cities but I lived in NZ for a few months and Auckland and Wellington can't compare to SoCal, SanFran or NYC. While they have their attributes and I might consider living in NZ after retiring, there's no where near the opportunities there to succeed while I'm working and raising a family.
Most of the Kiwis that I hung out with would rather live in the US.
Wrong. America is a great place to live for people that want to outwork their neighbor and get compensated for it. Exact reason the Kiwis I knew that wanted to live here, because no matter how hard they worked they didn't feel like they could get ahead...
It also probably didn't help that the women there were :X
seriously though, what is the criteria in which Germany place 5 cities In the top 20 and another 3 or 4 closely neighboring cities. Their seems to be a bias favoring Germany and really the weather and scenery does not justify it. Diversity is suppose to be a key factor, but Getmany is over 80 percent German descent and over 91 percent European descent. Hardly diverse. The rankings make no sense. Not that there are not great towns in Germany, but they don't deserve to dominate these rankings.

America is the spoiled kid whose Grandparents were extremely successful. American has been living in the past for decades now. You can say it's the best country in the world until you're blue in the face, but it doesn't make it true. It's just another first world country that is slowly being past by countries that aren't scared to death of change. You'll be a second world nation by 2100.

Good friend is a Kiwi so I've heard a lot about it. The problem isn't the taxes (top rate is 33%, no capital gains), but there's not a lot of opportunity. If he could have made $100k a year there he would have stayed and been happy to pay the taxes but he could make more here.

A ridiculous statement.
This is still a great country - the biggest problem with the path we're on is that it's difficult for those from low to middle income families to move up. The real why I'm a proponent of single payer health care is that healthy families can take care of their kids. I support low cost college/trade education so kids can succeed and eventually become high earning tax payers.
Other countries have figured this out and I hope we do too soon.

My wife works for Mercer and participated in this release though not selecting the cities. This is not a "best cities in the world" list, it's quality of life for multinational companies to send expats to work. That's the kind of info Mercer produces and thats why there are no American cities.

Even if one person does not want to move to the US it disproves your original statement.

Ok to sum up: Scandinavia, Germany/BEL/NDL/AUS and ANZ are the best QOL.

They specifically mention unemployment and have a picture of two chicks sitting on a beach for Perth.Buttonhook said:
However they don't mention that Perth has one of the highest Costs of Living in the entire world, and that the unemployment is bound to go up thanks to the oil crash.

The US just needs to bring its military spending down a few hundred billion so that its in line with military spending of the rest of these countries as a percentage of gdp. Then reinvest that money in healthcare, education and infrastructure. Problem solved.

Wait, that can't be right. The highest U.S. city, San Fran, is a sanctuary city. There was a murder there. I know - it was all over Fox News. How can that be our highest QoL city??Christo said:
