You can never underestimate the stupidity of majority opinion - value judgements are far better. God knows we make a living out of them here at Right Angle. The Monocle Top 25 World's Most Liveable Cities edition is unashamedly a value judgement, but not an ill-informed one. These are people who trawl the world, think critically about what makes life good, and the degree to which a city supports that ideal. It's not for everyone but neither is this publication so if you are average you shouldn't be reading it.
This year's issue sees Melbourne climb to 9 from 11 and Sydney slips down from 7 to 11. A result that unintentionally references terrorism and western capitalism. Creepy.

FourThousand is a subcultural guide to Brisbane, published daily and fired by email weekly. It is compiled by an amorphous gaggle of Brisbane writers, stylists, designers and photographers who all like huddling under that big umbrella we like to call creativity. Without editorial independence FourThousand has nothing. All editorial you read is featured because it's worth it - not because it's paid for.
