And this year's most livable American city is ... San Francisco. Although each year seems to produce a new "most livable" city -- it was New York last year -- the Harris poll is fun to read and offers the chance for chambers of commerce to crow a little. San Francisco, which finished fifth in 1997, knocked the Big Apple into second place. Rounding out the top five: Atlanta, Seattle, and a tie between Denver and Phoenix.
