what is this shit metric? Enviroment? doesn't this basically mean the amount of the nature, right? How green a city is. if so, just go to any rural cities in every country. Fucking nature. those cities aren't "cities". Town.
>>546083804But New York is legitimately the best....
>>546083804>Oxford indexthese lists only exists so anglos can suck their own dick
>>546083883new york has better governance and environment than zurich?
I love AI slop
>>546083804idk what they thought but to me environment matters - it's pollution of every kind (is your local river a sewage dump? is the city full of polluted air? how noisy is everything especially outside the industrial areas?) and integration of more natural features like trees, parks and so on. it doesn't have to be wild nature it still looks and feels nicer to most humans and animals.if you're one of the few people who prefers walking along a plain concrete path next to an 8 lane road to walking in a somewhat nature-feel forest garden-ish path or at least an alleyway of trees, YMMV i guess but clearly most people and animals aren't like that.
>>546083804>Some of the worst cities each country has to offerWho the fuck takes this shit seriously?
>>546083804>environment Zürich and Munich are near the Alps and surrounded by crystal clear lakes?!
>>546083804Unlike you absolute nobodies from nowhere I lived in London for 22 years, great for events and things to do but impossible to live you will forever be a wage slave, also the English community is now non existent. To rent even a simple house 2 bedrooms the size of the entire house equivalent to a standard Americans kitchen, would be around £2000 a month in a suburb, essentially your entire wage on an average salary, doable if you're in a relationship, but you'll never get ahead . Also the suburbs are full of immigrants now, it's no meme if you've never been to the UK it's not a meme it's real, genuinely London has no white English aside from pockets where there's some pubs or even more unaffordable upper class areas. Move to countryside it's one of the best countryside in the world and only like 1hr away anyway and half the price suddenly everyone complaining about housing etc seems retarded life is so easy and I'm raping all of my friends financially who stayed in London
>>546086035The only thing that really just ruins everything is that to even go to London on the train from 1hr away costs around £30-50 a day, it's a joke. A simple 1hr train journey is more expensive than 3hr flights to Greece or Canary islands. If they fixed this London would go up a tier and I'd go so much more often, I don't understand why it's so expensive to simply get to the fucking place. You can't drive or park anywhere either, parking for a day you're looking at 10+ on fuel then another 10 to park and about 3hrs of traffic for a 1hr drive
>>546086035it's odd that this happened to such a large city now when in the past birth rate booms also didn't even have an equally great effect (parts of london were basically ghettoified but it recovered when the infrastructure and stuff was eventually built and the economy re-balanced)
>>546086148around 2000 the swiss railways actually were looking into operating in britain but it never happened...still essentially everyone could copy what we do, it's something you can gradually implement, none of it relies on single high cost investments - you just run good normal speed rail
Los Angeles is the ugliest fucking city I've ever seen. Too bad all the demon beaners drag the quality of life straight down
>>546086355and no, I don't get why you did HS2 instead, it won't even help with the cost and barely change capacity will it? bad decision imo
>>546086231It seems artificial desu, there's no reason for the prices of rent or homes to be this much in London it's for foreign investors or something half the flats are just empty big tall things built in the last 20yrs especially around East London.Everyone online always talks about England being a shit hole and the cities but never mentions the countryside as they would immediately seethe, genuinely one of the most beautiful places on earth and never mentioned
>>546086408HS2 is retarded, English gov is too bureaucratic cant get anything done
>>546083804>what is this shit metricwell they're not wrongnobody should move to Moscow, it's full alright, very dirty, criminal, expensive and poor
>>546083804>london #1 human capital
>>546084185>>546085200They're rankings, not points. So, 1 is the best score
>>546086793>humblebragIt's a shithole and you know it.
>>546086355>you just run good normal speed railthis is lost tech outside Switzerland I'm afraid
>>546086606the govt infrastructure built nearby that supports these structures costs a lot too and gubbmint often isn't so great at expanding it so it'd be very good if they incentivized inhabiting places even if they wear a bit over time >>546086692cutting down on an anyhow only 2.5h or so "regular speed" connection to leeds with hsr was IMO never going to be better than more rails (e.g. regular speed rail but more of them for separated goods and passenger transport not necessarily all going to leeds)>>546087345idk why, we and others even supply perfectly flexible passenger trains that really aren't hard to operate, much easier than in the age of steam even
>>546084050Same with the academia. 'Somehow' quoting eachother about irrelevant topics became the prime metric for academical excellence.
>>546086355Britain invented railways, why would we need some mountain yodlers to run them for us?
>>546086793And filled with churkas
>Vienna nowhere to be foundEs ist vorbei
>>54608380sort only by Quality Of Life...
>>546087934> continues yodeling on maritime cargobut true if you can run the railways better than pre-2000-2026 you really should get to it. not even saying you won't. you might have sort-of lost 25y+ tho.
>>546083804If they're out they're out
>>546084185No city has a good environment. If I want good environment I'll go to a place like Gstaad, St Moritz, Davos, Saas Fee, etc.
