To change the label positions for a given plot manually you can use the following syntax by providing the annotations coordinates:

```julia
scatter(df.x1, df.x2; annotation = (x, y, text.(df.city, :magenta, 6)), leg=false)

```

Just change x, y around df.x1, df.x2, with the required offsets.

The general problem is very difficult. It would be easier to abbreviate the city names to 2 or 3 letters max and annotate randomly around the points. See [this other thread](https://discourse.julialang.org/t/how-to-make-this-plot-in-julia/75065/4).
