I was assuming that the same people would still live in the city, only in different areas. So it's all economically neutral if that's how you want to look at it

I was assuming that the same people would still live in the city, only in different areas. So it's all economically neutral if that's how you want to look at it. This is also not about completely excluding any group from anywhere. There are plenty of doctors and lawyers living in Kreuzberg. It's about preserving a mixture of background/ages/incomes, which has shown to work rather well. It's also hard to deny the economic impact of this scene on the city, it both includes and attracts startups, for example. Or look at Heumark development: a triple-digit million euros investment that grew out of a nightclub (bar25).
