I think Melbourne always tops Sydney in those lists, which really isn't that surprising.

I prefer Adelaide, but I have a preference for cities which aren't too big (with a slight amount of bias).

They must live in Sydney and are jelly.

Or you posted it in General Gaming and a mod moved it.

I'll make do with number 7 for now until people of NSW decide we will replace the Miss I-don't-do-anything with whoever that isn't her and see if there is some improvement there.

You win for now Melbourne, for now. I'm happy in where I am atm, great public transport access (hooray for not be stuck in the infamous traffic jams), a great job, bulk billed doctors *sniff* etc etc.

I'm surprised to not see Brisbane up on the list, Adelaide and Perth must be doing so well lately.

Sydneysiders are especially militant about how great their declining city is.

(I grew up in Sydney, watched it get nice for the Olympics, and slide in to urban decay ever since. There's a reason it's slipping down all those polls.)

Adelaide, Perth and Sydney are quite close in rating. It won't be long until Adelaide and Perth squash Sydney. MWAHAHA!

If you can get past the self loathing – yeah – really well.

I would've thought Grozny & Kabul would be worse than the lot of 'em. Or are places which have had the shit blown out of it not on the list due to insufficient data.

What the hell does most livable city mean? I don't have much hope for the world if Sydney is in the top 10. Not trolling Sydney people here, (I am one) but theres no way there can only 6 cities more liveable than Sydney. The price of stuff is high, it feels run down, people don't seem all that friendly, infrastructure is not exactly excellent. Hmmm

Did you make that list THEMAN? Lol

fuck yeah Radelaide.

A tendency for major musical acts to skip us aside, I really do like living here. Especially now in Fringe season.

Vancouver is a little surprising, although it is one of the friendliest places I've been, much like Melbourne in that regard.

'Sif Afganistan isn't #1 on the bottom 10.
At least Iran is in there,Nand Nigeria with their scanners; at least they got them right....

People complain about Sydney being "unlivable" or some garbage, but if its sitting there in the top 10 in the entire world, I'm not inclined to be worried or feel like I'm missing out.

I'm a Sydney-sider. Never been to Melbourne, but I can see myself moving there one day as they have a lot more digital effects studios down there, = more jobs for me. Just gotta convince the missus and family.

Woot! Go Canberra. Glad to see we are being recognised.
[/sarcasm]
But honestly, if I had to make a choice, despite living in Sydney for 18 years, I would much rather Melbourne to live in. Just a nicer place with a good feel to it.

There is also a difference between Sydney (CBD) and Sydney as a entire area. It's pretty varied.
I do like parts of Sydney but I've noticed that people in Sydney seem to be a lot more aggressive these days, it's only one in a hundred people or so but it sticks out.

I guess I can't really judge though I've only lived one other place and it was in China, the town I was in was quaint.

The only reason Perth makes a mention is cause there is nothing to do here, thus, easy not to spend money (unless you need essentials, which of course are expensive as all sorts).
