Well, when they say "liveable", they certainly don't mean "affordable".

Ya, that's clearly not a criterion. Here's what the article says:

The EIU ranked 173 cities on more than 30 qualitative and quantitative factors across five broad categories: stability, health care, culture and environment, education and infrastructure. Access to health care, amount of green space, cultural and sports activities, crime rates and infrastructure are some of the factors considered in the rankings.

It's not. That's why Melbourne and Sydney are up there too.
