OT: Top 10 cities around the world to live

[seattle-relo]

I want beauty, culture/big city amenities(great dining, museums,live music venues, shopping), decently affordable cost of living, big water for sailing my boat, and yummy sushi…oh yeah, and sunny weather!

Chicago has great big city appeal, but has miserable winters and there is a lot of crime.

Seattle has pretty good amenities, poor on museums, it’s just beautiful, but the gloomy weather can be a real drag – especially temps of 50 degrees in June. Also home prices are close to San Diego prices, it will be interesting to see how their housing bubble deflates. (Oh wait, there’s no bubble in Seattle. lol )

I love San Diego, but the downtown area is “fake” and touristy, and just not affordable.

Austin is very affordable, but I would say overrated – it’s average on beauty and just not as hip and cool as some people would like it to be.

I guess there’s no perfect place 🙂

Priorities. I like where I live because my extended family lives here; because I surf; and because I need to live in a large metro area for my occupation.

I have no culture so I don’t care about culture. I’m not a shooper so I don’t care about shopping. I don’t dislike poor people so living near poor people doesn’t bother me.

Different strokes. I’d be better off financially if my priorities were different.

Been to the following in the top 10 and my impressions:

No. 2 Vienna – nice city but not somewhere I would want to live, it’s just boring, the nightlife is around Schwedenplatz (Bermuda Triangle) and it’s not so vibrant. And you can go to a concert only so many times! And besides you can also attend concerts/opera etc. in other cities.

No. 4 Vancouver – ok city but No. 4? I wouldn’t live here, way too boring for my tastes.

No. 7 Munich – this is indeed a fantastic place to live, lots of culture and the city is just downright beautiful and of course the BEER GARDENS!!!! I would consider living here. Definitely not a party city though, more laid back.

Can’t believe Berlin did not make the top 10…uh, what kind of list is this?
