Hi Mates,

The Economist has released a fresh city ranking. Australian cities fare very well. Possibly somone would have the 250.- U$ for downloading the entire report with all detail

Cheers

den Bericht hatten wir gestern auch irgenwo aufgeschnappt. Normalerweise schneiden skandinavische Laender oder Staedte beim Thema "Lebenswert" immer ganz vorne mit ab. Erstaunlicherweise kam nur Helsinki unter die Top 10!

Aus Deutschland waren Hamburg (14.), Frankfurt (19.) und Berlin (22.) in der Auswertung am Weitesten vorne gelegen.

english only :D:D Sonst I will säi it to ze moderator

Sydney is an expensive and unfriendly shithole - An overrated city that's off it's face on ecstasy every weekend. Full of posers and self-centered, materialistic wankers. Totally unreliable and insufficient public transport. Massive traffic jams. Full of heroin addicts and street crime. Extensive criminal underground and corrupt police. Divided up into ghettoes of different nationalities.

BOOOOOOOOOO SYDNEY! Get it off the list!

(As you might have guessed, I don't like Sydney )

I agree - look at how expensive they all are - Zürich, Sydney, Helsinki, etc.

In Tübingen, BW everyone complains how expensive it is.. but in Sydney I was paying €370 per month just for a room in a share flat in a dangerous suburb!

You can rent a flat for yourself in the Tübingen Innenstadt for the same price.

check the cities on the bottom of the list they seem realy cheap, may be good citys are so pricey to keep the poor people out who would make it a bad city?

"Each city is assigned a score for over 30 qualitative and quantitative factors across five broad categories: stability, health care, culture and environment, education, and infrastructure."

Notice how affordability isn't even considered a factor.. most readers of 'The Economist' probably aren't struggling too much..

what a crappy ranking - Canberra isn't even on the list......
and after all, income, roads, and average education are well above Australian average.....

pft!

but blossom from yourselfe we where told that canberra does not have good clubs and bars for pasttime so people have to drive all the way to melbourne or sydney.

how good is a city if there is no way you can enjoy a beer or two.

and isnt canberra in th emiddle of nowhere?

it does not have a beach which every decent Australien city does have.

Original von Murph
Not to mention Blossom lives there

That's minus 150 scores on the scale, mate

no offense, but aren't you too old for clubbing anyway?
(for some reason I am assuming you are 35+ - not sure though. Could be wrong)

yep...
nightclubs, foamparties, wet shirts, high-heeled boots, miniskirts, too much make-up, getting totally wasted, puking in the bathroom.....

Honestly, it';s bad enough if teens do that. But teenagers are weird and hormones make you do funny things.

I'd hope though that from a certain age on people would behave more.... decent.

Yeppers, 30+ people that behave like teenagers are ... odd, to say the least.
And worst of all: middle-aged women in crop tops.....
