I like Stockholm. Beer is expensive there, though.

I wonder how many ROP no-go zones Stockholm has, like the ones in Malmo ...

With the exception of Malmo-istan, most of Sweden is very homogenous. i.e. cultural diversity in most cases lowers the standard of living and quality of life.

- I don’t know where you live, but believe it or not, Stockholm wages are pretty impressive. Few cities can compete.

What about the muslim infestation and gang rapes of white women? Nothing about that in the article...

Oh please. That is not the only gauge of Standard of Living. I bet they tax everything to death.

WC, Isn't it true that most of the left-wing South American exiles and Mediterrenean peoples have either intermarried with the Swedes or gone home to their original countries? Have the Slavs that have immigrated to Sweden since the 1960s intermarried or stayed apart as an ethnic group?
I once dated a girl who was born in Colombia, but who moved to Stockholm as a child with her mother. She considered herself Swedish through and through.

Someday I’d like to visit Scandanavia.

Green is the metric? No thanks.
Besides, it's not even accurate. If the highest standard of living is determined by who is greener, shouldn't it be some naked tribe in the Amazon somewhere?

One solution was investing in district heating, which hooks up 75 percent of buildings in the capital to central heating plants that run primarily on renewables and also produce electricity.
So...if that plant breaks down for any reason, is sabotaged, bombed by enemies, etc....hundreds of thousands of Sweedes freeze to death. Brilliant!

Hmmmm. Isn’t it Sweden that has an alarming (but apparently not to Swedes) suicide rate?

High wages, high wage taxes. And high road taxes, gas taxes, high sales tax, sewer tax, environmental tax, television tax, dog tax, packaging tax, flying tax, and whatever other tax they can come up with. Heckuva deal.

- Most welcome.
I’ll take you on a tour in my fully Volvo V70 to places like Dalsland, Värmland and Bohuslän!

On the other hand, a Liberal/Socialist mindset is a defect that is not necessarily passed on to the offspring.. LOL! Thank God it is not.
