      Seriously shocked to see Vancouver on here, specifically because of that. How is it one of the most livable when so many people can’t begin to afford to live there?

        That was my exact thought as well, yes! And I’m 100% certain it’s not the only other very high COL city in the top 10 (Toronto, Zurich, Geneva all come to mind immediately).

        Same with Sydney. Rent and real estate is ridiculous in general. Livable if you share with 8 housemates, or have a really good salary

        Same with Toronto.

        Those 2 are the most expensive places to live in the country.
