Mercer Consulting just released their latest Quality of Life and Cost of Living reports. Seattle barely made it into the top 50 for quality of life at 49, which is worse than Singapore's 34 but that better than Hong Kong's 70. Shanghai is even lower than that. San Francisco is surprisingly high at 29.
Hong Kong is has the 4th highest cost of living, Singapore is 17th, Shanghai 20th, and San Francisco is 34th. Seattle doesn't even make top 50, although another study found Seattle to be the most overpriced city in the US, so I guess it's cheap, but not worth it?
So where do I want to live again?
At the end of the day, Asia is awesome if you're going to be UPPER middle class/lower upper class, but difficult otherwise. While the US is great for middle class. GO BIG!
