Either a cheap apartment is hard to find and afterwards it's even harder to move somewhere else. The alternative - as in other cities - is that it's still hard to find an apartment that has a normal price. Of course this also attracts scammers. The apartment situation in dense areas is bad, no matter if it's Berlin or not. At least the local government is working on a solution to not end up like Manhattan, both price- and concrete-wise. If they find a sustainable solution, then this would be a game-changer and other cities might adopt that.
