New York Times declares Canberra the best place in the world to be

leaf circles

I have long championed Canberra’s charms. But it remains pleasing to see the Old Grey Lady explaining to the Manhattoes that our own city tops the world as the best place to live.

It turns out that compulsory voting is skewing the figures in our way, but we can live with that!

What’s the best place in the world to live? By one measure, it may be Canberra, Australia.

That’s from a report issued today by the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development, which ranked the 362 regions of its 34 member nations according to nine measures of well-being.

Who can be trusted?

In a world of spin and confusion, there’s never been a more important time to support independent journalism in Canberra.

If you trust our work online and want to enforce the power of independent voices, I invite you to make a small contribution.

Every dollar of support is invested back into our journalism to help keep citynews.com.au strong and free.

Thank you,

If you are going to use bastarised words to inject humour, make sure they are correct. Its Manhattanite not Manhattoes (that is from Moby Dick – “There now is your insular city of the Manhattoes” and refers to and island inhabited by native Indians)
