            Yeah Munich, meine Lieblings.

            Would probably climb the rankings more if poor people were able to live in the city.

                I think the compiler of that list has mistaken Birmingham UK for Birming-ham Alabama.

                How in the name of God can a dump like that be ahead of Rome?

                  Poor schools,
                  Poor air quality / environment.

                    It's also not the centre of a massive global paedophile ring. That probably counts for something.
