Yeah, "livable" is inherently tied to some kind of value system. It's kind of a useless metric unless they explain in detail their values. "Safety" and "environment" mean totally different things to totally different people. This would be much more interesting if they took, say, three different value systems and did three rankings.

Besides, the metric value changes depending on who you are and what kind of income you can generate based on the job you can obtain and what you value the most. This is why I never like articles claim to know what's best for everyone.
