And what size would that be?
Toronto, Canada 6.1M
Sydney, Australia 4.8M
Melbourne, Australia 4.4M
Vienna, Austria 2.6M
Vancouver, Canada 2.4M
Perth, Australia 2.0M
Auckland, New Zealand 1.5M
Helsinki, Finland 1.4M
Adelaide, Australia 1.3M
Calgary, Canada 1.2M
Karachi, Pakistan 23.5M
Lagos, Nigeria 21.0M
Dhaka, Bangladesh 19.0M
Abidjan, Ivory Coast 6.8M
Algiers, Algeria 4.5M
Damascus, Syria 4.5M
Douala, Cameroon 3.0M
Harare, Zimbabwe 2.8M
Tripoli, Libya 2.2M
Port Moresby, Papua New Guinea 0.4M
And what indicators would one "cherry pick" to determine liveability instead of the ones used?

But the top cities are all very multicultural cities and the bottom ones are largely monocultural. Comments about bias towards "whiteness" are incorrect and ridiculous.
