What a small world. Until tonight I had never been to Kreuzberg, let alone Berlin. My friend recommended this as one of the more hipster neighborhoods. After realizing that this building is only a 25 minute walk away, I decided to go around and take a few photos of it and the surrounding neighborhood: https://imgur.com/gallery/cSpgv https://imgur.com/gallery/cSpgv This area has a fun vibe and it's easy to see why it's rising in popularity.. my Airbnb host grew up here and told me that it used to be very poor. This particular building is well painted, but doesn't really stand out. As someone who grew up in Palo Alto, gentrification just feels so.. normal. Although it's priced out most of my friends and family, I've always seen it as something inevitable. This is such a strange precedent to set.. how many of these dwellings is the city prepared to buy? How can they possibly stop the free market?
