On environmental friendliness not sure, all have improved recently but not sur how they would rank honestly
What would make you place Miami fifth in all categories? As well, certainly people in L.A. would also have a more enjoyable life as the report I posted above showed.

Philly isn't #1 on education.

NYC metro has Yale, Princeton, Columbia, NYU
Philadelphia has Penn.

Philadelphia's lifestyle isn't better than LA or Miami.

I would also agree with this statement. How can you beat the sun and the beach?

A report can't tell us what city has "better or more enjoyable life". That's opinion and can't be quantified. That report is stupid like nearly all opinions presented in the guise of a "report" that are routinely posted on city-data forums.

HOWEVER, I have never heard of anyone moving to Philadelphia for a lifestyle like you would with LA or Miami.

Matter of opinion. I think the Miami lifestyle is unappealing, I hate sand for one thing, and it's too hot for most of the year. Philly's 'lifestyle' is about living in an affordable metropolis that offers just about everything within walking distance.

Princeton is closer to Philly than NYC. I've never heard anybody claim Yale was in any way associated with NYC, not before today. Penn isn't the only university in Philly BTW. Drop it.

According to the UNITED STATES GOVERNMENT, Yale is associated with New York City by virtue of its location.

Yale University
Location: New Haven, Connecticut

From Wikipedia:

The following Metropolitan Statistical Areas are also included in the New York-Newark-Bridgeport, NY-NJ-CT-PA Combined Statistical Area (total pop. 22,232,494):

New Haven-Milford Metropolitan Statistical Area (862,477) <----- Yale is here
New Haven County

So I guess today is the first day you've heard this fact that Yale is associated with NYC. As they say, there's a first time for everything...

And I looked it up...Princeton is in the New York metropolitan area as well.

And the other schools besides UPenn + random schools in the Philly metro don't compare to Princeton, Yale, Columbia and NYU combo.
