Counter-point: summer was great. We bought kayaks and didn't watch the news.

Pittsburgh is the only rust belt city to not be decrepit. Why are you laughing?

Same. I can't believe that a place that is well suited to the future includes a place that will definitely suffer from the warming trend we are seeing as part of the end of the mini-ice age/global warming. Nothing says sustainable and future ready than summers at +120°F. Not to mention the complete lack of water, the…

I could see myself in Pittsburgh, though I saw what you were saying above and I can agree it's not for everybody. It seems a little small town-ish for me too, but ... the vintage grand prix....

Actually, you were totally disparaging it. Your second comment is much more appropriate. Maybe it isn't for you, but the majority of people across the country and around the world are piling accolades on Pittsburgh for good reason. I grew up here, moved all around the country and then moved back. Pittsburgh is,…

I was shocked to see Chicago made this list (and I'm a Chicagoan), but you should read up on some of the storm and waste water management stuff that's being built right now. It's insane.

Maybe you should do some research and, I dunno.....actually visit Pittsburgh before you make ignorant comments like this.

Interestingly, the only two of those cities I would want to live in are Stockholm and Vienna. There isn't a city in China you could pay me to live in - issues like non-breathable air (!), non-potable water (!), and rampant, systemic corruption are problems for me. Canada and Chicago are too far north for me, though I…

I agree with this. Arizona is not sustainable at all. I currently live in Tucson, and I'm already planning on moving out by the end of the year.

Phoenix? Phoenix? Really?

Of all the major American metropolises that are the LEAST sustainable over the long run, it's a close race to oblivion between Las Vegas and Phoenix, with Tucson coming in a close third. Water isn't the "big issue", it's the ONLY issue.

You can have all the solar power and "downtown identity"…

Phoenix??? Seriously?

Chongqing is why the next Batman movie should be set in China.

That why I refuse to visit Chicago.

If Jalopnik runs a list of the least prepared cities, I'd like to nominate Halifax, Canada. The city had a campaign to garner more interest for public transit. They called it Do It On The Bus. They even bought the domain doitonthebus.ca, and plastered the (old/few) buses we have with decals. As you could probably have…

I'm going to take a pass on a city that has antifreeze colored water as its harbor.
