Mercer Consulting's World City Ratings

Every year Mercer Consulting comes out with a list of the world's most livable cities. Zurich, Switzerland repeated as #1, while co-Swiss city Geneva was tied for #2 with Vienna. Most of the 50 cities are drags, such as Tokyo and Singapore, but I would live in several of the top 50 in a heartbeat.

It's only a question of a job and a visa.

The only cities that qualify are Bangkok, New York, Boston, Paris, London, Dublin, and San Francisco.

Too bad about the rest.

It's a tough world out there in the 21st Century and I'm exiled to Palm Beach for the summer.

By the way not one American city makes the top 50 safest cities.

Obviously the surveyors never have visited Milwaukee and one more thing Bangkok was actually listed # 108, even though I would have placed it in the top 10.
