As fellow austrian i agree (hi thomas btw) It's romanticized in international media to the extend it becomes a disney land version of itself. Which is bad because it is a really good city to live in and should be seen as such - without the fairy dust and glitter. * It's quiet (american cities tend to be very loud for no reason) * A high basic standard of living for everyone (salaries, rent, health, etc) * Education for everyone combined w/ very good universities (top tech university with people of other social class or ethnic groups) * Clean streets (no homeless, no trash) I am happy that people recognize the city as a pearl as it is - but other cities (esp in europe) offer the similar qualities and we should rather learn from the patterns that work than to simply romanticize all of it.
