If you are talking about urban life, basically every country in the developed world belongs on that list (although I'm not sure about Hong Kong or Dubai if you are talking about the QOL for the average person rather than a US expat). To give America its due, I think if you are living in the Heartland, you probably have about the best quality of life in the world in material terms (a relatively big house, decent car, cheap food, cheap utilities, good free schools).
