For those of who haven't seen this article, this was a result of the recent survey 'Quality of Living Survey - Worldwide Rankings, 2011' done by the global HR (human resources) consultancy major Mercer.

I can say only this - there might be some truth to this (when compared to other Indian cities) in-terms of climate, high-tech job opportunities, highly educated, mild tempered people etc but infrastructure-wise, Bangalore would loose all of the points. Roads are getting worse day by day with no fixes in sight, no footpaths, uncontrolled housing development etc. If you take all of those into account, Bangalore wouldn't fare much. Also, the 'quality' part can be really debatable - if you haven't seen cities outside of India, may be you can call this some quality but for most of us who have seen what quality is, this is a far cry!!!
Also, if Bangalore is called the 'best place to live', imagine the plight of other cities :-(
