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.
Some of the others high up on that list are equally absurd. OK, Zürich and Geneva are maybe nice if you are a millionaire, but for everyone else they are absolutely unaffordable.
Perhaps the liveability index gives extra points for:
- An open drug scene full of crackheads at the main rail station
- A lot of Gangsta rappers from the city
- Being a hub of financial crime
So Frankfurt scored well on those
It has Paris in there, lmao.
If someone forced me at gunpoint to live in Paris, I’d wrestle the gun off of them and then shoot myself.
Kyiv is in a literal warzone. I would expect it’s livability to be much lower.
It’s kind of an insult to Istanbul at this point.
This has got to be one of the worst designed charts I’ve seen
Why make it circular? Are normal bar charts not good enough?
Pretty insane that Moscow and St. Petersburg only rank a little higher than a the Ukrainian capital that is suffering from drone attacks and power outages on the regular.
I love that this equally pisses off all Europeans though haha. Personally I can see how Copenhagen is high and oof yeah why Kyiv is last (would love to see it bounce back up after they win).
Non Parisian french are fuming rn
Theres a lot german citys i would prefer over Frankfurt and Düsseldorf(and also over munich and hamburg especially since munich is the most expensive City in germany)
This ranking looks worthless and they’re very vague on how they make it, you can only get a free summary.
How is Frankfurt ending up so high on that list?!
Which Frankfurt?
- Frankfurt am Main
- Frankfurt (Oder)
- Stadt Frankfurt (Sachsen Anhalt)
- Ježkov (german name Frankfurt)
- Kap Frankfurt (Russia)
If nothing is specified it’s usually Frankfurt am Main
Why would they include Frankfurt an der Oder but not Frankfurt am Main? I’m pretty sure they mean the latter and this graph is nonsense…
You‘re right, I thought of Frankfurt am Main, but if it’s one of the others they could be livable. I only have been to Frankfurt am Main, and thats about the last place I would like to end up…
It has a reason why Germans constantly joke about it.
How is Berlin (see ach_berlin.txt) higher than Munich?
Brought to you by the institute for made up numbers.
And all other European cities are less liveable than Kyiv? I find that hard to believe
Some would make the bold claim that a hot war doesn’t make for a very good local vibe…
They do not monitor all cities in Europe, the listed ones are the 41 cities analysed by the EIU.
