But Seattle's not alone in the reality/false narrative gap; both New York City and Los Angeles rank among the 20 greatest cities in the world in a recent Conde Nast survey:
These are officially the best cities in the world for 2023 â and Dubai is up there

What can be done to turn away these troubling false narratives and embrace the beautiful truth?
