>Vienna comes top again this year, though maybe for the last time because of violent migrant gangs making some areas in central Vienna too dangerous for natives or tourists. So Zurich (currently 2nd) may move up to first next year. There's 5 German cities in the top 20 plus Stockholm that are said to have similar issues, so there may be a bigger shake-up next year.

How is San Francisco considered the "most livable" city in the USA? Are you kidding me? Most 'livable' for who? The housing costs are one of the highest in the nation - if not THE highest! Heck the housing there is just as bad as Oahu Hawaii - only difference is everything is more costly in Hawaii because everything has to be shipped to the middle of the Pacific ocean - but still - I would hardly consider San Francisco the most livable city in the USA except for perhaps the richest people.
