The “livability” survey found Vancouver, British Columbia, to be the most attractive city.

Maybe this helps explain why Osaka is on the list?

It's a great place to be if you don't mind the Japanese lifestyle. If you want to live like an American/Canadian/Australian there... well, best be very wealthy, or on a military base. Also: no good beaches, no good bagels, a surplus of totally insane people. But we can still like it a lot. Well, Curzon, what are they surveying for?
