World Cost of Living

[maracle]

I've often wondered what the cost of living is in various cities around the world. There is pretty good data about this for comparing US cities, but I haven't seen much that compares world cities. Kind of understandable, not too many people moving between countries and with the fluctuations in currency it changes constantly anyway.

But, I did find this list of the top 140 cities:

I'm not sure it makes any sense to me. For example, #98 is Houston, #99 is Boston. Can that possibly be right?! Or, #127 is Detroit, #128 is Portland.

I came across this because I was curious today about Montreal. According to this it is one of the cheaper cities in Canada. Is that true? (Esther?)

Well, hopefully people find it a bit interesting at least
