I am most definitely not a city girl. But if I won the lottery I'd buy a flat as a second home overlooking the Thames in London where we could stay for a couple of weeks at a time about 3 or 4 times a year.
I already live in the Washington, D.C. area. It's one of the elite U.S. cities and I could easily live here for the remainder of my career.
Other cities I am interested in are New York, London and Paris. Possibly also Berlin and Boston. I would have liked Chicago more if it was on the east coast. That's pretty much it.
One person's opinion (well, apparently two), using highly arbitrary weighting of a subjective choice of factors to form a list that meets very conjectural criteria. If I had to live in the proximity of any such "global city", I would probably choose Berlin.
I could live in all of them quite easily. That doesn't mean I would want to, but they are all fairly developed places. I would probably be most opposed to Beijing for the terrible air quality.
I thought you could only vote one so i vote for BA cause i already live here and i know i love it, but i could see myself living in most of this cities, if not all.
My top 10 would be (excluding BA):
1. London
2.Paris*
3.New York
4.Barcelona
5. San Francisco
6.Madrid
7.Boston
8.Chicago
9.Brussels*
10.Berlin*
*This would be a problem cause of the language but i had to include them. If i assume i could easily manage myself in english in those places, then this is how the ranking would be.
I pride myself on being a person who could basically live most places for at least a year and have been to most of these cities minus a few. If I had to rank them in order of where I would live in long term:
1. NYC
2. London
3. Barcelona
4. Tokyo
5. Hong Kong
6. Paris
7. San Francisco
8. Boston
9. Washington DC
10. Berlin
11. Seoul
12. Madrid
13. Singapore
14. Sydney
15. Buenos Aires
16. Zurich
17. Beijing
18. Shanghai
19. Frankfurt
20. Brussels
21. Moscow
22. Vienna
23. Los Angeles
24. Toronto
25. Chicago
