Berlin was having this problem before Google’s campus showed up.
The fact is the war ended. Berlin became the capital of a very large and wealthy country. If Berliners wanted to avoid displacing people they needed to start building lots of houses. And they needed to start a while ago because building houses takes time. But they NIMBY’d against the perceived “gentrification” of new houses so now they’re behind.
Avoiding the problem for longer by blaming tech companies isn’t going to somehow put the genie back in the bottle. Accept Berlin has changed and build houses.
