Livable versus Lovable

Financial Times writer Edwin Heathcote took a look at Vancouver’s liveablity status … and was bored silly:

Vancouver (original name, Gastown) has also spent more than a decade at the  very top of the charts of the best city to live in the world. Can that really be  right?

No. Not at all. In fact, Vancouver’s boringly consistent topping of the polls  underlines the fundamental fault that lies at the heart of the idea of measuring  cities by their “liveability”.
