WHAT ARE THE WORLD RANKINGS FOR "LIVABILITY"

Melbourne ranked number 1, Vancouver a not surprising number 3...clean air, safe streets, natural beauty etc.  but actually, rankings were done by The Economist, and the editors were looking for other factors, such as worker safety, economic sustainability; in other words, the way a multinational corporation might look at a region.  The U.S. doesn't pop up until # 26 - Honolulu.  Pittsburgh was #30, Miami #36.  There are other cities such as Boston and Seattle also ranked, and Los Angeles (one might stretch this to thinking So Cal, as this is a macro approach) # 42, incredibly ahead of San Francisco at # 52, undoubtedly because of housing affordability.
