USA has fallen to #5 as the best place to live. The criteria is not the same,
even freedom, Safety, Currency value, and environment are some of the things
on which it is judged.

U.S. tumbles to #5
International Living Postcards--Sunday Edition
http://www.internationalliving.com
Sunday, Dec. 31, 2006
Paris, France
Dear International Living Reader,
For the second year running, we're not naming the U.S. as the best
place in the world to live. In our 2007 Quality of Life Index, the U.S. again
fails to claim top honors. What can we say? Living is easy in the good ol' US
of A. But easy isn't everything, and, in the 2007 Quality of Life Index, the
long-reigning champion has fallen to #5.
Every year since 1979, International Living has scoured the Earth in search
of the best. The best of everything
including quality of life. The first of
every year, then, the results of our annual index are released. We don't know
ourselves how it will turn out until all the number-crunching is finished. And
this year, like last, the results (officially released tomorrow) surprised us.
International Living's Annual Quality of Life Index has become the gold
standard by which to measure the most comfortable, most appealing, most safe,
and most potentially rewarding of these places on Earth to live
as well as the
most dangerous, dirty, and God-forsaken corners of our planet.
The full report is featured in the January print edition of International
Living. To create this report, our editors considered 193 countries according
to nine criteria: cost of living, leisure and culture, economy, environment,
freedom, health, infrastructure, safety and risk, and climate.
Countries jockey for position every year. Situations, landscapes, and markets
change. Economies rise and fall. Currencies are devalued. Governments are
overthrown. Disasters strike.
Where are the Cheapest, the Warmest, the Safest, and the Most Entertaining
Places to Live?
This year, Argentina captures the top spot among South American nations.
Croatia sits at the top of the heap for Central Europe. Costa Rica beat
Nicaragua in Central America, but Panama bested both of them.
Who came out top overall?
Ah
you'll have to read your print issue to find out. If you're a subscriber,
watch for it in your mailbox any day now. If you're not, I invite you to become
one here now.
