Following on my earlier West Coast / East Coast post, I was interested to see Mercer’s Quality-of-Living Report for global cities. Setting New York as 100.0 (Center of the Universe, remember?), it ranks a few US cities as better, including Honolulu (103.3), San Francisco (103.2), Boston (101.9), DC (100.4), Chicago (100.4), and Portland (100.3). Vancouver (107.7) ranked third worldwide, after Zurich and Geneva. Toronto, Ottawa, Montreal, and Calgary all ranked above the highest-ranked US cities.
OK, ratings suck. But I would happily live in any of the cities listed in the top 51, there.

Vancouver over San Francisco, yes – but Calgary? eh?
They are clearly apologetic about the high zzz factor of their “high quality” cities. Zzzzurich and Geneva?
