Default Chennai is the best of the lot.

I second Tanmay in saying Chennai should be ranked top because of:
1. Its great infrastructure (all cities are improving on this front but Chennai has better drainage facilities and cleanliness factor is also at the acceptable level).
2. Better transport facilities and mobility even at odd hours. I differ from Tanmay only on the traffice management. At best, traffic management can be termed okay but never excellent.
3. Safety of women.
4. No religious or linguistic bias and genuine secularism (not the one often preached by our political leaders).
5. Friendly neighbors.
6. The ubiquitous English (even a rickshaw-wala can speak decent English, well dont be a Renn & Martin here).
7. Its best medical facilities (Chennai is otherwise known as the medical capital as well).
8. The best mix of both traditional/conservative and modern lifestyles living in the same locality (I mean caters to everyone's taste).
9. You get whatever food you want (you dont have to travel a great distance for your favorite dish).
10. And above all, cost of living is relatively controlled and better managed in Chennai than most cities.

If at all Chennai has to be at the bottom, it must be because of its notorious autorickshaw drivers. Beware of them.

And, if I had missed out anything, members please feel free to append.
