You can never underestimate the stupidity of majority opinion - value judgements are far better. God knows we make a living out of them here at Right Angle. The Monocle Top 25 World's Most Livable Cities edition is unashamedly a value judgement, but not an ill-informed one. These are people who trawl the world, think critically about what makes life good, and the degree to which a city supports that ideal. It's not for everyone but neither is this publication so if you are average you shouldn't be reading it.
This year's issue sees Melbourne climb to 9 from 11 and Sydney slips down from 7 to 11. A result that unintentionally references terrorism and western capitalism. Creepy.
