Blah-Blah Bar / Re: Shawny’s concerns about Victorian and Australian Governments
Last post by Thryleon -According to Time Out, Shanghai, Edinburgh, London and New York are in the top five for the world's best cites, but the champion of the Best Cities list for 2026 is Melbourne.
Who'da thunk it!
I saw that a couple of days ago.
It seems as though the methodology of that survey is not, shall we say, particularly robust. Possible more for sh1ts and giggles than anything else. What is important IMO, is that across a range of different surveys / analyses from different institutions, Melbourne is constantly ranked near the top, as the 2nd half of this article shows.

Perhaps these lists arent what they're cracked up to be.
