I mean the good and bad questions, because every city has its pros and cons, so you have to be open to resist some government ultra stalking with the benefit of having the things that city offers. You seem to have to pay some price for the benefits you want.
In London the police inspects your internet, and the cams record everything you do in the streets, and also everything is expensive as gold... But you have the benefits of living in London, like... can someone name one?
In Paris you have excellent public transportation, amazing urban architecture -and I am not talking about the monuments, but about the commons looks of the streets, they are usually pretty even if they are unknown non famous streets-. But you have the disadvantage of having to speak french, which is a language with an ugly senseless orthography that any intelligent person simply can't stand.
So tell us what you want and what you can stand, and we can give you better advice.

Very good point..... to answer:
1) I like transient cities like BKK as I love meeting new people from around the world.
2) Low cost of living
3) High quality of life
4) Either near or at beach. Must be at least driving distance for weekends.
5) People must be nice. In my travels I've found the friendliest cities to be - BKK, PRG, BCN Edinburgh. Unfriendliest - LA, London, NY
6) Must have good club scene with active music scene.
7) Cosmopoliton city with many choices for food.
8) Services must be up to par as in electricity, malls.... basically I want to be able to buy anything I need.
Does that help?
