Resonance Consultancy ranking for San Diego leaves out key demographic
32? Says Who?
Maybe Resonance just wasn’t paying a-tent-tion to the right metrics.
Earlier this month, Resonance Consultancy released its highly regarded list of the 100 World’s Best Cities in which to live. It’s no surprise that San Diego made the list, but it was a surprise to see where they ranked: way down at number 32, behind America’s nightmarish New York (3), hellish Los Angeles (12), and even its great urban failure, San Francisco, which came in at number 14 despite filthy streets, rampant crime, and repugnant tech bros. And while the low number was certainly shocking to the fortunate few who can afford to live here, it was even more surprising to a demographic that can’t afford not to: our growing homeless population. “The people at Resonance should take a look at the latest issue of Hobo Magazine,” suggested Randy Curbside, spokesman for Streetsleep, a homeless-lifestyle advocacy group. “To quote from their writeup on America’s Finest City, ‘San Diego offers a simply unbeatable combination of broad sidewalks, undeveloped urban spaces, warm sunny days, relatively mild evenings, sympathetic progressive political authorities, a rapidly dwindling police population, and a conflict-averse population. As long as you’re not looking to buy a home or rent and apartment, this is truly the best place to live in all the land.’”
