I don't really think that Lisbon per se is a dream city. Lisbon + Cascais/Estoril + Sintra + Costa da Caparica, yes - it's truly an outstanding metro area. But as a city in its own, even Porto is way prettier than Lisbon. The main problem with the city is that its urbanism is not very "friendly" to its citizens. Just for starters: why the hell only in this city most quality shops can only be found in Shopping Centers and one or two additional spots (Chiado, Avenida da Liberdade)?
"Lisbon is considered a dream city; but when it comes to its housing market, many people who live and work here are fighting to survive."
