AskMen.com made a list of the best 29 places to live and ranked them based on 2009 Liveability, sports & entertainment, Culture, Fashion, Health, Power and Money, Dating & Sex, and the Good life.

The Top 5 were

1. Chicago

2. Barcelona

3. San Francisco

4. London

5. Sydney

my city LA was ranked #19 kinda surprised it's not higher. You can check out the full 29 cities here Link

so what do you guys think of the list? was your city included in the top 29? if you believe your city should be somewhere on the list rep it right here on GS 8)

LA is #19? Wow. I'm surprised Chicago is #1.

Whatever though, LA is still the best in my book 8)

Im really surprised that Vancouver was beaten by some of those cities...I mean the only real downside is the rain and the gangwar and really Chicago is just as bad for both. I found it odd though that Cape Town South Africa got max health score too unless they are disregarding the extreme violence and crime in SA.

The fact that Miami is on the list and Chicago is number 1 makes me declare this list BS.

Chicago is a great city, I don't think it's deserving of #1 but it's definitely deserving to be on the list

What? I thought Melbourne was voted the best city to live in. Oh, maybe that was another year.
Anyway, I'd pick London. I want to move there so badly, I love the life styl.

I live in London and I like living here. It caters to most of my interests. One day I would like to live somewhere with a sweeping landscape, in a cottage overlooking it all *sigh*

I must also disagree, and I have been to Toronto. :P

I've been to many places, but I continue to maintain the opinion that Vancouver is the most beautiful city on the planet.

Sydney, Australia? BS. Sydney is ranked almost last in Australian cities to live in, so there's at least 5 other cities in Australia that should go on that list before Sydney.

Miami?! The murder capital of the South?! BWAHAHAHAHA!

People murder cabbies in Miami when they don't want to pay the fare.

And I used to LIVE in Panama City. Place was a hole.

Exactly. Melbourne usually ranks top 5 in these sort of things, a couple of years ago it actually won. Sydney is really busy, I didn't like it that much when I visited.

Miami made it to number 16. I'd rank it number 1 because I'm biased, but whatever. It's on the list :P

how can there be a best city to live in? Different people, different needs. What is a great city to live in for one person doesn't have to be great for another.

I was surprised to not see NYC in the top 5, but hey it made 6 so I'm still proud. Personally I don't think much of it though I love New York, but I want something different. Maybe 1 day when I retire I'll move to a place like Barcelona to see how that goes.

wow, cool to see copenhagen on 9th and berlin on 7th :D both cities that could be my potential hometowns, as i know/am learning the language :D its quite obivous that americans had a hand in making this, but its a good list nonetheless. i watched a documentary on gangs in LA last night PLUS ive been there, so im rather surprised that that crphole of a city even made it to the list!!
