The trap of searching for the "Perfect" City
Anyone else fall into this trap?
say you have 10 things you really want, and the most you find is a place with 8, so you keep looking and looking and looking...

That's b/c there is no "perfect city", every place has good and bad points about them.

Some combinations of characteristics simply don't exist together. One may have to prioritize and settle for a place with most of what they consider the most important characteristics.
It's like going vehicle shopping for a large SUV that gets 60 miles to the gallon, or a pickup truck with leather bucket seats and a 6-speed manual transmission. You're bound to be disappointed if your wish list includes unrealistic combinations.

I have crossed many places off of my list because of this trap, I hate to admit.  |

Some parts of a city are more perfect than other parts, don't forget that!
However with out some imperfection you have Disney. Is that what you want?

If you are looking for 10 of 10 you may never find it. Take the top three and use another criteria or visit them or think of disqualifiers.
