    I do not trust any “livability” statistic that lists Frankfurt as the most livable city in Germany.

    Also, the chart does not give its selection criteria. Medium sized cities to cities on the smaller side are completely missing. I get not including towns, that would overwhelm the graph.

    Then again, what even is a city, what sets it apart from a town? Different regions in Europe have vastly different definitions of that, with the UK’s definition being particularly notable for how useless it is.

      Perhaps the liveability index gives extra points for:

      1. An open drug scene full of crackheads at the main rail station
      2. A lot of Gangsta rappers from the city
      3. Being a hub of financial crime

      So Frankfurt scored well on those

        Don’t forget about all the Nazis with their robot dogs that make up the police force over there.

        There just isn’t another way to keep the place nice and safe without them.
