>but you get way better quality of life in a 100,000 to 400,000 city nearly anywhere else in Europe. Even Aahrus has a better quality of life.

I think you're going a bit far there. Access to a larger international community, international schooling, wider offering of grocery products (e.g. asian supermarkets) and restaurants, diverse music, arts and cultural offering - smaller distance to airport, those are all reasons I'm happier in Helsinki then some random 100,000 person city.

It's weird because in this survey all of those would fall into the 'Happiness, Culture & Leisure', even though it includes a lot more stuff than 'outdoor spaces' for example.
