Vancouverites saw this one coming

Not to rub it in or anything, but Vancouver just got voted third best city in the world to live in... again.

"Vancouver is the third-best city in the world in which to live, behind only Zurich and Geneva, Switzerland, according to an annual quality-of-life survey of more than 200 cities.

Yet all of the Canadian cities surveyed are highly ranked, with Toronto in 14th spot, Ottawa 20th, Montreal 22nd and Calgary 25th, Mercer Human Resource Consulting said in releasing its latest annual survey results."

"In the U.S., the highest-rated cities are Honolulu and San Francisco, tied in 25th spot with Calgary, while Houston, in 68th spot ranks lowest.

The annual ranking of 215 cities is based on 39 quality-of-life criteria, including political and social environment, medical and health considerations, education, public services and transportation, housing and natural environment, and safety and security."
