According to the ranking, Haparanda, located in the far north on Sweden’s border with Finland, is the second-worst place to live.

So Sweden has the best place to live AND the 2nd WORST place to live?..(funny how that was buried right near the bottom of the article)
I would move to Danyderd if all my neighbors were hot, blonde chicks who love to drink.
“So Sweden has the best place to live AND the 2nd WORST place to live?..(”
- Pretty much so.
Just like all other countries, Sweden features magnificent aspects while simultaneously suffering from several flaws.
Undeniably, the material standard of living is very high over here just like it is in the US and so is the standard of most services provided by the government, for free or at low cost, like health care, child care and education (I’m not recommending this concept of society to others, I’m simply saying people in these segments of employment HERE IN SWEDEN usually display the same amount of acquaintance with Lutheran work ethics as, for instance, the folks working at the assembly line of Volvo Cars, Torslanda, Gothenburg).
On the other hand, Sweden isn’t exactly Italy or Florida when it comes to climate (although the southern part mostly is quite endurable from March to November) and although it isn’t as high as it often is said to be, our suicide rate is higher than average nation wise.
Something that makes me proud of belonging to the nation of Sweden is that we, apparently, have been intelligent enough to abandon the Socialist inspired ideas that had a very strong position in Sweden during the 1970s and the early 1980s.
