Do you have a link for that? I would be interested to read the article. I dont take too much into any best city this or that, cause it really depends on what they are using for the criteria.

Case in point, I am not sure when exactly, but I recall an article where a newspaper either in Saskatoon or Calgary had something to the effect of our city has the best downtown in North America. Upon research on how they came to this stupid statement, it was broke down llike this.

They would randomly ask people in the cores about whether they liked the downtown or not and apparently 90/100 people (example) said they liked it in city A, whereas in city B 80/100 people liked their core. So since 90 percent in A said they like the core, that meant they had the best downtown.

I take any Best of Cities to live etc, very subjective.
