We all know the sad reality of Spore. So it is no surprise to us "lesser mortals" that things are not what they used to be.
However now the outside world is taking notice that Spore is back sliding

I'm surprised that we have been getting so many negative news about Spore:confused:

4 Asian cities put Singapore to shame in 2014 livability survey

We slip down from a consistent 15th.

Since 2006, lifestyle magazine Monocle has published an annual list of livable cities and presented 25 top locations for quality of life, where Singapore has continuously ranked.

The survey assigns ranks in terms of safety/crime, international connectivity, climate, quality of architecture, public transportation, tolerance, environmental issues and access to nature, urban design, business conditions, pro-active policy developments and medical care.

Japan bagged 3 in the top 10 this year, with Tokyo, Kyoto, and Fukuoka ranking 2nd, 9th and 10th respectively, while Hong Kong snatched 13th place.

To have quality living standards in Singapore one would have to spend a very huge sum of monies in order to sustain a better quality of life but that is beyond the reach of most Singaporeans due to the very high cost of living.
