Chicago: 36th Most Livable City

For the fifth year in a row, Vancouver topped the Economist Intelligence Unit's list of the world's most livable cities. No surprise there, but what about our fair city? According to the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette (the only American news outlet willing to shell out $500 for the full list, apparently), Chicago came in 36th, tied with Atlanta and Miami. At number 29, Pittsburgh was the top-ranked American city; Honolulu came in 30th; LA was 44th; and New York was 56th. No word on where Houston ranked.
