tipstir Wrote:The second picture I guess you need that transport to get to your dwelling, am I correct in saying that sub?Its quite close to my house, but I dont go on the cable car often (I'm usually in car, on vespa, or on foot). The old cable car is sort of a tourist attraction, though a lot of local people catch it down to the city in the morning and back up in the evening.

Hmmm... I'm happy to see Montreal at #22 but this list has no credibility for me.
I have visited Detroit, Atlanta and St Louis dozens of times and these cities shouldn't be on any "top 100" lists unless you are comparing murder rates. So many people have moved out of Detroit that it's a virtual ghost town in some areas and houses can be purchased for $5,000. Atlanta has bone crushing traffic and air pollution so severe that the trees planted along the boulevards die.

Amsterdam on 13 is nice . The latest discussion overhere is: If a national law should forbid smoking in bars etc, should that apply to the "coffeeshops" aswell. Peace man:p

The problem I have is another - when you live in one of the satellite cities of a large city, I guess some of the parameters are similar to the mother city and there is influence, but some things are very different. But, whichever way - I moved 2 years ago from a satellite city of a city ranked #105 to a satellite of city ranked #15. Can't be bad...

Vancouver is #3, right after the only 2 cities in Switzerland
5 of the top 25 are in Canada

I'll agree with Geneva as #2. We lived there for a couple years and loved it. It's a really nice place but very very expensive.
I don't know about some of the others, tho. I'd rate Kinshasa a lot lower than 207...I've been there, too...
