Have you been to Toronto or Vancouver ? wheelwright Send a noteboard - 31/08/2011 04:02:01 PM
Can't comment on the rest, but both Toronto and Vancouver have a large ethnic population.

Funny that you only count "Black, Hispanic or Arab" but leave out every other part of the world in your definition of non-white.

I also don't think Australia, New Zealand, or Vancouver count as being a cold climate.

As for socialized medicine, I am sure that did play a role, as I would think part of assessing the livability of a place would be the accessibility of affordable health care.

How do you call towns "cities"? - 30/08/2011 08:12:27 PM 626 Views
I thought you were going to mention Perth. The rest are clearly cities, if you ask me. - 30/08/2011 08:23:33 PM 613 Views
Perth has 1.7 million people. - 30/08/2011 08:30:26 PM 769 Views
You kind of inadvertently prove the point... - 30/08/2011 09:21:18 PM 836 Views
So I see! - 30/08/2011 09:45:27 PM 863 Views
A million people isn't a city? - 30/08/2011 08:28:20 PM 776 Views
Not necessarily. - 30/08/2011 10:49:08 PM 742 Views
You could be right re: population density. - 30/08/2011 11:06:36 PM 686 Views

Have you been to Toronto or Vancouver ? - 31/08/2011 04:02:01 PM 648 Views

Yeah, I'm sorry, but you're fairly off with that one. - 31/08/2011 04:52:25 PM 701 Views
OK you did see where I included Asians didn't you and I would call less than 2% significant - 31/08/2011 05:31:45 PM 694 Views
I believe your words ... - 31/08/2011 05:49:26 PM 673 Views
yeah sprinkling was probably an understatement - 31/08/2011 07:36:16 PM 892 Views
As a comparison ... - 30/08/2011 08:37:28 PM 800 Views
that can be a little misleading - 30/08/2011 09:18:22 PM 736 Views
Point taken. - 30/08/2011 09:49:54 PM 796 Views

Livability obviously doesn't include "Concentration of Venomous Creatures". *NM* - 30/08/2011 11:43:43 PM 365 Views
Actually, the reason our cities are so liveable is because they're built to keep said creatures out - 31/08/2011 12:59:01 AM 624 Views
How? - 31/08/2011 08:20:01 AM 604 Views
