Vancouver is 'best place to live'

Vancouver is the world's best place to live, a survey by the Economist Intelligence Unit (EIU) has found.
The EIU ranked 127 cities in terms of personal risk, infrastructure and the availability of goods and services.

Most of the cities that fell into the top "liveability" bracket were based in Western Europe and North America.

The worst places were Algiers in Algeria, and Port Moresby in Papua New Guinea because "many aspects of daily life present challenges", the EIU said.


Top group:

Vancouver
Melbourne
Vienna
Geneva
Perth
Adelaide
Sydney
Zurich
Toronto
Calgary


Bottom 10 cities:

Tehran
Douala
Harare
Abidjan
Phnom Penh
Lagos
Karachi
Dhaka
Algiers
Port Moresby

These are the cities, immigrants land from India/ Pak etc....they make these cities a great place to live...but what a pity, they cannot make their own cities a better place to live....why???

Answer: Only professionals leave India/ Pak because they are fed up with the existing political and to some extent cultural/religious system...so the brain drain...
