Melbourne is the most livable city, again

Originally shared by The EconomistToday's #Dailychart, the Economist Intelligence Unit's city liveability index, reveals that Melbourne is the number one city in which to live. Australia's second city has kept a hair's breadth ahead of Vienna and Vancouver. Overall Canada has three cities in the top ten, Australia 4 and Helsinki, Vienna and Auckland complete the set. London and New York's comparatively poor performances can be attributed to a perceived risk of terrorism http://econ.st/17mnFNj

Please tell us if it would stay ahead once we get the road tunnel ahead of the rail tunnel?

I'd prefer to see the ring road extended all the way around, rather than link up the Eastern FWY. Linking up the Eastern will significantly increase the number of trucks, on a freeway that is largely empty of such large vehicles today.

A rail line will reduce the number of city-bound commuters on the freeway, freeing up much more capacity than the tunnel will deliver.
