Top 10 best and worst places to live in the world

There are many. I have (white) neighbors who are famous labor economists who visit a city in Iran every year for 3 weeks they say is the most beautiful in the world. I have a (white) tenant who grew up with Diplomatic parents in Africa who would go back to a couple cities there to live if he could. Velvety, the famous Prague escort, loves Ho Chi Minh city best of any place. Another Czech escort moved to Bali. Latin America has a slew of cities that are some people's dreams. (Including a few gay clients who are happiest in Rio). Others like Bangkok best. 

This elitist "liberal" white supremacy thing is really new this year but it's surprising how quickly it's become a given.  There's no reason to limit the selection of "best" cities to ones populated by whites (who are a rather small % of world population). The white race may indeed be supreme, but the other 85-90% of the world's people have some really nice livable cities, even if that would shock most whites.  

Ranking is of best places to live , not to visit. People are dreaming about places but do they really want to live in those dream places ? Even if they do , are they part of majority wave or just shining exemptions ?  we can find examples for everything as people are motivated by various things. I know somebody (white) who recently moved from one of cities on the top 10 list to rural Nicaragua of all places. Does it mean list above is biased ?  

Will Velvety still love Ho Chi Minh when he will be 80 ? It's easy to feel good in Third World city with First World money or earning potential

I consider Bangkok best city in the world but would I like to live there permanently ? No , because year round heat (some may consider it a bonus but not me) and politics which are crooked and semi-feudal,  less based on rules than somebody's whims.

Guy who spent years in Africa with Diplomatic parents lived most likely quite shielded life there not daring to cross the city by foot at 3 AM like he would in Zurich or Osaka. Very few countries there are paragon of good governance unfortunately.

Sub-Saharan Africa and Latin America are most unequal societies on the earth so question arises about people dreaming about living there- do they want to live as top 10 % or bottom 90% ?

as long as USA is building wall to keep Latinos out not to prevent Americans to escape and as long as Africans are trying to get to Europe by rickety boats ,not other way around it seems huddled masses are supporting validity of ranking above by their actions.

No need to  blend race into it.  White race is not supreme, it just happen in this moment of history that is better in building livable cities and keeping them that way.

 Claim that 85-90 % of world's people have really livable cities based on those criteria  "culture, health care, education, infrastructure, and entertainment" seems to be frivolous at best, if only because half humanity is still rural and doesn't have an access or if it does , it's very scant to any of those 5.

These lists are very silly, because they only represent the values of the people who make up the lists. I, for one, would rather blow my brains out than live in Calgary or Toronto, but that's because I greatly value climate--but that's just me. I have a strong suspicion that whoever made up that list didn't include climate as a criterion--yet that's something of great value to a lot of people such as myself. I could hardly be happier living in Los Angeles, but, yes, you'll have a tough time if you don't have health insurance (as in most of the US, which is why I suspect no US city made the list). There isn't a fence or barrier separating Canada from the US. If most people preferred living in Calgary or Toronto, they'd vote with their feet. Yet almost all successful Canadians live in the US (Celine Dion, Justin Bieber, William Shatner, etc.), yet it's very rare for Americans to choose to live in Canada. 

This is the only "barrier" between Canada and the US (barring rivers, lakes):
