Haha yeah, that needs some refinement! Ultimately it's a restriction of the API's we're using now.

"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?"

These are all great suggestions, and some are on the roadmap. One thing is we never want to get in the game of saying one place is "Better" or "Worse" than another. We just want to provide data and let people decide what's important.

Thanks for giving it a spin!

Maybe you can take some data from the world happiness report/index?

Good idea, I'll look into that!
