The best city to live in the world is Melbourne in Australia

So the ten best cities to live in are in predominantly white countries. I’m sure that’s entirely coincidence. I mean it couldn’t possibly be that whites are good at setting up prosperous, stable civilized cities and countries could it?
If Melbournians can afford it, they holiday some where else ... :-) !
Black, brown, white, yellow, red (maybe blue and green waiting in the wings) - they're all fast disappearing in the melting pot. Never heard of an exclusively white gene for prosperity.

Well, those three Canadian cities are full of immigrants. Melbourne is charming and wonderful because of the Aussies and their forthright manner, and the climate; don’t know about their immigrant population. Vienna is rich and historical, a gorgeous city to walk around. Vancouver is just physically beautiful with a pleasant climate where everything grows (no blizzards in the winter), full of Asians. Toronto is the economic hub of Canada, with a long-present vibrant and hard-working Caribbean population, East Indians, and now Latin Americans, international flavor. Calgary is Houston on steroids with a massive Asian population, and lots of immigrants from Africa (Somalia, Ethiopia) and East India.
You can chalk the Canadian cities up to their government social programs and attitudes that make living there far more amenable for the average worker than the US.
I haven’t been to the other cities, altho’ I rolled through Hamburg once or twice.
I don’t think whiteness has much to do with it. Governance, the location's physical attractiveness, and opportunity does.

Doesn't bode well for Russia then....
Is Australia becoming too expensive to live in?
Sydney and Melbourne in the top 10 most expensive cities in the world
Overall, Australia's 54 housing markets have an unaffordable median multiple of 5.5. Melbourne has a median multiple of 9.5.
"My wife and I arrived in Melbourne on a student visa in January 2014 and for the first six months, looking for a place to stay was probably the hardest and most stressful thing," says warehouse worker Nikos Pagonis.
"I think that prices are crazy expensive and are in no way proportioned with wages. Houses are already above the $350k mark up here in South Morang and Epping and Mernda, which is pretty much dead man's land. I wouldn't even dare to think how expensive the inner-city or seaside suburbs would be.
"Melbourne is fine if you have a bucketload of cash and your weekends free to really enjoy the city," he says.

The same applies to the Canadian cities on the list, so the question remains: who did they canvas for this survey?
"arrived in Melbourne on a student visa .... says WAREHOUSE WORKER..."
Australia is awarding bachelor degree in warehouse???
Sounds like AUD zombies are pouring in from the turd world and bidding up the prices to the detriment of the citizenry...
Probably lowering wages while they are at it too....
Why don't these people just stay where they are in the first place???
