I would say I envy NYC for being the most successful and powerful city in the world (also, tons of attractive young professionals), and Tokyo for their transportation system.

I envy California for not having endless fucking winters like Chicago does. I'm so tired of cold weather and no sun. So damn tired.
I envy Tokyo for its transportation and cleanliness. My wife is from there and is adamant we stick in Los Angeles. I love this city for a lot of reasons, but I wouldn't mind living in Tokyo whatsoever.
Try Phoenix! The majority of transplants that live here are either from California or the Midwest, LOL.
Envy Seoul and Tokyo for their transportation and street food. America with proper intra/inter city transportation and healthcare would be something.
He said he wanted sun not endless oppressive heat.
Gatineau because it's probably the best fencing city in Canada. I mean it's that or Toronto but Gatineau is so much cheaper.
Yeah. I feel like I would probably melt within a week if I lived in Arizona.
2 months of 115°+ is just a whole different beast. Way different from CA sun.
If you avoid the afternoons (which isn't that hard), it's much easier. Just find some air conditioning.
eh cant agree with NY, Seoul or Tokyo. I lived in Seoul for long enough to know that you start feeling like a small ant and worth nothing very quickly.
New York. Must be amazing to live on Manhattan if you can afford it. All the top food, culture and art in the world always close by.
LA and San Diego for having perfect weather. It's hot, but in a pleasant way, its not the same type, as like India. Hard to explain, maybe a climate guy could chime in why.
i only envy US because most of Google's services, Hulu, Amazon Prime, etc are officially launched there whereby people that's outside the US like me had to resort to VPN to access these services (at a handicapped speed).
Other than these online services, i don't really envy other cities....maybe Gold Coast, Brisbane (Australia) for the weather and that's about it.
I am from Singapore and having worked in major cities before (NY, London, Paris), i don't really 'envy' living and working in these big major cities as the 'pace' is just too fast.

Hong Kong. God it's just so mammoth and so much to explore. Beautiful at night time. Really Southern China in general. Heading into the mainland a bit you walk these streets at 10 or 11 at night and these crazy Southern Chinese are up eating, singing karaoke, drinking. It's pretty crazy feels very relaxed like everyone will just stay up all night. Of course the food is incredible.
I really like the city I live in (Helsinki) but not gonna lie, during the dark winter months I do envy places with ever-green nature and some sunshine.
I've lived enough time in big metropolises to not really envy people who live in them. If anything it has just made me appreciate a bit slower pace and surrounding nature more.

How easy is it to get from Hong Kong to the mainland?
Dry heat vs humidity
California is not a city. I envy LA winter as a New Yorker during the cold winter months.
Amsterdam or Brussels. but also anywhere that's cold year round but isn't a shithole. Copenhagen i guess
My best friend moved to Phoenix for school and he is miserable right now. But really, what would you expect from a Seattle transplant?
then the atrocious heat and humidity hit you and you crave a nice cold wind.
Tokyo for the public trans, cheap food options, nightlife, shrines, rivers, and jazz scene (in that order). Never want to work there (I guess here as I'm currently working here for 3 months). Otherwise I make SF my home for a reason.
This a million
I was there for like 3 days once
It was heaven
A very very expensive heaven
It's definitely a culture shock. Phoenicians in general are more friendly and extroverted than Seattlites.
To be fair, I don't know if Phoenix is REALLY that extoverted, but every major city is compared to Seattle. Phoenix isn't friendly compared to the south.
I'm from NYC
But any state that has legalized recreational 420 I envy greatly. Just having the ease of walking into a dispensary and buying treats with no middle man sounds like such a joy.

Close to me, Melbourne has a food and art scene that I envy. It's where all our local talent goes if they want to really test the waters before trying London or USA.
Then there are lots of places I envy for different reasons. Tokyo has public transit, food and art on lock, London and is no slouch either.
Personally when I lived in Seattle (late 90s early 00s) I felt completely at home. It was like a city totally filled with edgy dorks like me. You could find weekly games of even the most esoteric rpgs. The Goth clubs and nights were packed. My life for those years was nerd and Goth shit 24/7. That was never possible where I live now. But I hear it's different now. So maybe i don't envy it any more.
That being said I quite like where I live, Perth, weather and natural environs are great, cost of living has now been reasonable for a few years. It's bar scene has flourished. Public transport could be better but the rail is actually pretty good, runs later than Tokyo. But if your interested in anything but sport or beach activities you are in for disappointment.

Same. Also reasonable housing costs. And much better zoning. It's also beautiful too, not just clean. Japan really understands aesthetics.

Tokyo. It never feels dangerous to walk down an alley at 2am in Tokyo. Of course crime does happen, but violent crime is not nearly as frequent as it is in other capital cities.
Plus it has arcades and stores that cater to a variety of hobbies because people enjoy the experience of shopping here unlike London where Amazon decimated shopping.

Tokyo. Reasonable rents, very little petty crime, variety in arts, transport, and incredible food culture. I would give my left arm to live there for a bit.
Paris, for the amazing food and long summer days.
Singapore, for the complete lack of winter and affordable food.
Miami, for the amazing beach and access to The Caribbean island resorts.
Bangkok, for the fantastic overall value, delicious food and cheap massages.

With shops?
I can walk and within 20 minutes I can find a shop that sells arcade parts. Shops in London cater to fashion, if it's a niche hobby then you need to go online but not in Tokyo.
