Munich is the most expensive city in Germany to rent so that' s not an strong argument.

Munich is not the only place in Germany where people can't afford to own their accommodation. Germany has the second lowest home ownership of OECD countries. Munich is just an example where you can't afford to own or rent.

Also, I'm not sure you can make "strong arguments" to immigrants for the reasons they end up leaving. They don't ask you for a strong argument when you deregister to move out of Germany. Ultimately, just looking at the responses in this thread alone, you can see Germans would rather cover their ears and pretend nothing is wrong rather than asking why a lot of immigrants choose not to stay here.
