I believe your words ... Nate Send a noteboard - 31/08/2011 05:49:26 PM
... were that they have "just a sprinkling of Asians". Vancouver is 40% Asian ethnicity, which includes southern Asia and western Asia, not just China and Japan. In Calgary, 25% of the population speaks a non-English language as their first language.

As a Texan, I suppose your definition of a cold climate would vary from mine. My Texan friend seems to put on a sweater when it dips below 70, but that's a comfortable indoor or outdoor temperature for me. An average temperature anywhere in the 60s to 80s is just right, because you don't sweat to death when you go outside to do anything. :P

The world's top ten and worst ten most livable cities Nate - 30/08/2011 07:06:50 PM 1434 Views
How do you call towns "cities"? Tom - 30/08/2011 08:12:27 PM 700 Views
I thought you were going to mention Perth. The rest are clearly cities, if you ask me. Legolas - 30/08/2011 08:23:33 PM 686 Views
Perth has 1.7 million people. Nate - 30/08/2011 08:30:26 PM 845 Views
You kind of inadvertently prove the point... Legolas - 30/08/2011 09:21:18 PM 912 Views
So I see! Nate - 30/08/2011 09:45:27 PM 940 Views
A million people isn't a city? Nate - 30/08/2011 08:28:20 PM 849 Views
Not necessarily. Tom - 30/08/2011 10:49:08 PM 812 Views
You could be right re: population density. Nate - 30/08/2011 11:06:36 PM 761 Views

That probably is part of it. Tom - 31/08/2011 02:14:41 AM 700 Views
to meet their definition of best it also seems to help if you have mostly white random thoughts - 31/08/2011 01:52:11 PM 707 Views
Have you been to Toronto or Vancouver ? wheelwright - 31/08/2011 04:02:01 PM 723 Views

Yeah, I'm sorry, but you're fairly off with that one. Nate - 31/08/2011 04:52:25 PM 777 Views
OK you did see where I included Asians didn't you and I would call less than 2% significant random thoughts - 31/08/2011 05:31:45 PM 768 Views
I believe your words ... Nate - 31/08/2011 05:49:26 PM 750 Views
yeah sprinkling was probably an understatement random thoughts - 31/08/2011 07:36:16 PM 967 Views
As a comparison ... Nate - 30/08/2011 08:37:28 PM 876 Views
that can be a little misleading random thoughts - 30/08/2011 09:18:22 PM 811 Views
Point taken. Nate - 30/08/2011 09:49:54 PM 891 Views
Not enough Europe, apparently ironclad - 30/08/2011 08:13:48 PM 775 Views
Re: Europe Nate - 30/08/2011 09:32:17 PM 794 Views

That's what keeps you fit and healthy. *NM* Nate - 30/08/2011 09:17:32 PM 388 Views
weather is a factor and three Canadian cities made the top ten? random thoughts - 30/08/2011 09:22:32 PM 843 Views
Vancouver at least has a nice climate. Nate - 30/08/2011 09:40:31 PM 967 Views
yeah there are not vey many US cities I would want to raise kids in random thoughts - 30/08/2011 11:16:52 PM 677 Views
For the record, I found Vancouver quite lovely. Joel - 31/08/2011 05:09:37 PM 918 Views
Quality health care in the US, really? Macharius - 31/08/2011 12:27:41 AM 804 Views
seriously... LadyLorraine - 31/08/2011 05:24:47 AM 742 Views
all you are arguing is quality=free random thoughts - 31/08/2011 12:11:30 PM 748 Views
Also, Aeryn - 31/08/2011 12:53:00 PM 820 Views
no it works out that nicely for most people random thoughts - 31/08/2011 01:36:13 PM 780 Views
How can he afford a week in Vail and not afford insurance? nossy - 31/08/2011 04:22:47 PM 783 Views
a lot of the uninsured are that way from choice random thoughts - 31/08/2011 06:41:42 PM 704 Views
Getting care, getting timely care, getting quality care and paying for it are all different things. Joel - 31/08/2011 03:39:30 PM 945 Views
tha tis becuase the hospital is run by republicans and they were out to get you *NM* random thoughts - 31/08/2011 07:37:47 PM 531 Views
Nothing in Travis County is run by Republicans. Joel - 31/08/2011 07:46:42 PM 793 Views
Livability obviously doesn't include "Concentration of Venomous Creatures". *NM* TaskmasterJack - 30/08/2011 11:43:43 PM 400 Views
or perhaps Australian cities rank so high because they're so much better than the alternative Zaphod - 30/08/2011 11:58:47 PM 865 Views
Actually, the reason our cities are so liveable is because they're built to keep said creatures out Colonel Logain - 31/08/2011 12:59:01 AM 691 Views
How? ironclad - 31/08/2011 08:20:01 AM 685 Views
I can't risk putting the answer on a public forum, the venomous creatures may find out Colonel Logain - 01/09/2011 07:26:52 AM 624 Views
Why no Boston? *NM* Ghavrel - 31/08/2011 12:16:28 AM 385 Views
Annoyingness of local sports fans was also taken into consideration. *NM* TaskmasterJack - 31/08/2011 12:31:21 AM 486 Views
Obviously the study group consists of Yankees fans. Poor, unfortunate souls. *NM* Ghavrel - 31/08/2011 12:46:17 AM 364 Views
A low population density seems to be a key determinant in these rankings Colonel Logain - 31/08/2011 12:51:45 AM 666 Views
There is an obvious mistake Druid - 31/08/2011 03:07:31 AM 1004 Views
I was almost killed by a wombat LadyLorraine - 31/08/2011 05:26:28 AM 652 Views
