How so?
City names (data, changes over time) as enums (compile time
set) seem like a horrible idea.
In most cases yes. But not always. You might me doing some sort
of game where certain cities are a central concept, not just data
with properties. Another possibility is that you're using code as
data, AKA scripting.
And who says anyway you can't make a program that's designed
specificially for certain cities?
