To what extend does your own place of residence fulfill your ideal livability criteria?** The score for my place of residence in fulfilling my ideal livability is 75. General livability score for my city is 60. **4. What would you change?** Traffic and pollution are two biggest issues in Jakarta. They are also damaging to the economy in terms of health and productivity. I would definitely reform the transportation policy. Automobiles sales should be capped and public transportation should be made reliable, convenient, and safe. Jakarta’s walkability is very low. There should be more sidewalks, a dedicated lane for bikers, and motorcycle. The government should also support ridesharing. All of these will contribute to reducing traffic and thus air pollution. **5. Why do we move?** Top three places I would move to: 1. Los Angeles, USA: a. Clean air b. Good climate c. Developed entrepreneurial ecosystem d. Many job opportunities e. Variety of healthy food and innovative fitness center 2. Geneva, Switzerland: a. Clean air b. Good climate c. Good job opportunities d. Good public transportion e. Many technologically advanced companies 3. London, UK: a. Good job opportunities b. Good climate c. Good public transportation d. Great education e. Easy access to Europe [1]: https://edxuploads.s3.amazonaws.com/14572662289539076.jpg
