I do feel like one of the main disadvantages of Sydney over London is that it's 3411 miles from the nearest "national" park, instead of 3074 miles away.

Other than the "national" park comparison and non metric units, I was pleasantly surprised that I could add non-US cities. However it feels pretty surface level. Comparing Sydney and London, all I can really deduce is that Sydney is sunnier and more rainy, but there's nothing about what it feels like to live there.

Would I feel happier? What are the cultural differences? What is the food like? What sort of social groups thrive in the cities? What's public transport like? What's commuting like? What's tourism like?

Can you do celsius?
Would be interested in housing prices the most. It would be great to know what can be the cheapest rent places in Europe for example.
We just added average home and rent cost for the U.S.—looking into international options.
Would benefit from cost-of-living data (e.g. something like numbeo), on top of the housing data.

And something like Hoodmaps to discern safe/unsafe suburbs in a city (quality of life differs a lot within a city, often more than between cities)

The population of Cambridge, UK is showing up as just 394.
Funny. Comparing NYC to Philly, I see the distance to park/preserve shows local green spaces. Not what I expected. Maybe statistics are better when you’re a major metro?
