Most liveable for unhappy people. I see no contradiction there? (Now you know why I'm not in marketing.)

I thought it was 2nd most unhappy anyway - that makes a big difference, y'know.

Honolulu is an interesting choice. I thought it had the worst traffic in the USA, and is sure expensive. I coudd live there without a great deal of persuasion though.

Yep, New York City was the unhappiest in that survey.

I find pittsburgh to be quite satisfying until you hit a very high income range & then it starts lacking in comparison to many of the larger cities.

In what regard? Not denying that it is lacking, just curious as to how the others live.


Personally, I could triple my income and the only things I think I might change is having more money for expensive foods, booze, and vacations.

I was just b*tching about paying a $30 cab ride so I have a long ways to go

But (and this isn't a knock on the city at all, just a limitation primarily due to it's size) it's far from offering an abundance of amenities that an ultra rich person would want. Not all but many will at least. It's a big reason you'll see a company stay put but move it's upper management offices to say NYC.
