Seriously shocked to see Vancouver on here, specifically because of that. How is it one of the most livable when so many people can't begin to afford to live there?

Same with Sydney. Rent and real estate is ridiculous in general. Livable if you share with 8 housemates, or have a really good salary

That was my exact thought as well, yes! And I'm 100% certain it's not the only other very high COL city in the top 10 (Toronto, Zurich, Geneva all come to mind immediately).

Same with Toronto.

Those 2 are the most expensive places to live in the country.

They must follow some kind of an ideological criteria is what they look for in a city, like natural beauty and ease of transportation, while giving no thought to people's livelihood. Vancouver was too expensive and overpriced 10 years ago, it's not a new problem.

I suspect the people who did the list are elitists who have no understanding about budgets or not having enough money. As AOC from NY said when discussing budgets, "How do you pay for things? You just do! elitist laugh"
