Places I can't afford to move to. Naturally.

LOL, Australian and Canadian cities? Pretty sure most urbanists would disagree; those are car-dependent shitholes.

Maybe it's not obvious to you, but city design/planning isn't the only thing that makes a city "livable". Reading the article may help.

[-] grue@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

It may not be sufficient, but it is necessary as a baseline precondition. Perhaps not all cities with good urbanism are "livable," but all "livable" cities must have good urbanism.

I find it surprising that there's 2 Australian cities on here but nowhere from the US. I've been under the impression Australia was similar to US in "Liveability" metrics, for good and ill.

The rest are no surprise at all

My guess is that all USA cities were disqualified for possibilities of gun violence and lack of socialize medicine. I can't really disagree with that either.

They talk more about the methodology here, for what it's worth. I think crime is pretty heavily weighted, guessing that's what sinks a lot of US cities.
