I've made a pretty long list, and here are my faves:
- Auckland
- Taipei (Taoyuan and Kaohsiung are very close by HRT)
- Sydney
- Helsinki
- Stockholm
- Oslo
- Amsterdam
- Copenhagen
- Toronto
- Dublin
- London
- Paris
- Berlin
- Barcelona (or Madrid)
- Lisbon
My criteria were things like Gini coefficients, diversity, democracy indexes, gender equality, and LGBTQ rights. Most places in Asia got bumped because of poor LGBTQ rights, and the US got bumped for poor gender equality (representation in government is a big component of the formula). Diversity is just generally difficult to find, even in major cities, and when you do de facto segregation is almost certainly an issue.
I used to live in NYC but left--the COVID-19 outbreak didn't make that easy--and have been plotting on where to settle for hopefully forever. Toronto's at the top of the list, but it's hard to say no to Europe, Taiwan, Australia and New Zealand. What a privilege to have options like that though, what a time to be alive :).
- quietthrow 6y agoDo you have a google set or something similar where you can share your analysis? What about quality of education , safety and health care access ?
