This seems a bit odd to me but I don't really care for any big cities these days. I don't disagree with the results but it seems like quality of life, quality of the environment, and local leisure and transportation options would be a priority for most people.

It is third in both the Local Friendliness and Friends and Socializing subcategories of the Getting Settled index, with 88 percent of expats finding locals friendly toward foreign residents against 64 percent globally.
As for the negatives:
The only category in which it scores poorly is quality of life where it ranks 63rd, with the quality of environment doing even worse (73rd).
Expats also did not rate the local leisure and transportation options highly, ranking them 68th and 64th.
