According to who? I've been to Vancover, pretty but the food is expensive. Been to Munich as well, wasn't impressed that much (nice architecture) but on the whole I like Phoenix.

It takes about a day and a half to drive across Phoenix.

According to who?

...Consultants rated each city on a variety of factors including the level of traffic congestion, air quality, and personal safety reported by expatriates living in more than 600 cities worldwide...

Note that seven of the ten are in Germanic nations.

Hmmmm...

I've lived in Vancouver. It certainly deserves to be there.

You gotta be shittin' me....

Canadian cities dominate the rankings in the Americas with the highest entry for the United States being Honolulu (28).

... no bias in this roundup.

I'm not a corporate tool, and I'm with what's his face. I'd rather live in the bush.

You have to be to afford them first. None of these places are cheap.
