Rome, Nice, Toulouse, Porto, Lisbon, Barcelona, Madrid, Valencia, Athens, Palermo or Napoli. Big cities with amazing cuisines and relatively safe by world standards. Mild mediterranean climate that is comfortable for most of the year. Lots of history. Very walkable and urban. Great architecture. I dont know what more you could want
Other contenders that just missed out
Buenos Aires/Montevideo: A bit too expensive and the crime is higher than you would like
Los Angeles: Not walkable and too many ghettos
San Diego: Not walkable
Miami: Too many ghettos, unbearably humid
Sydney/Perth/Adelaide/Brisbane/Melbourne: Too suburban, no history, too disconnected with the rest of the world. Australian cuisine is questionable
Singapore/Hong Kong: Atrocious climate, too expensive, too competitive
Paris/Milan/NYC/Torino/Montreal/Toronto/London: The climate
There are no sharia-ruled neighbourhoods in London! Or anywhere else in the UK for that matter! This isn't the first time I've heard this, lord knows why.
All the fake news circling around that has become so popular.

I have to vouch for my city, San Diego. Weather is amazing and the city is very safe. Central San Diego is walkable. It's multi-cultural, you can find any type of cuisine here. The beach is 20 minutes away, the mountains are 20 minutes away, the dessert is like 30 minutes to an hour away.
London? Most people can't even afford to own property there and it's way too congested.
Barcelona for me.
London ticks all the right boxes for "perfect city", save for weather and affordability. The latter simply represents supply and demand.
Cosmopolitan.
Rule of law.
First class legal and accountancy heritage.
Business environment.
Cultural powerhouse.
Retailer representation.
First class infrastructure and transit.
Dynamic and vibrant.
Beautiful to look at in the warmer seasons.
San Jose: great weather, population, diversity, Silicon Valley, downtown, transportation, lots of attractions, good neighborhoods, sport facilities, beautiful and modern airport and good quality of life.
I live in Paris so outside of Paris and If I was rich, definitely Roma or Barcelona: rich, clean (not Swiss like but still clean), safe, amazing food, amazing history, amazing weather, everything to be an exceptional place to live in.
I was just watching a documentary last night shot in Vancouver, it reinfoced for me
just however beautiful the setting is.
Everywhere an awesome view.
Also very multicultural too.
