How so? Currently living there, have a nice park 1 min from the house, few pollution, no crime around here (beside graffit and a fire in an abandoned shack 2 weeks ago), growing bike infrastructure. I can go sailing in 30 min, Skiing and mountain climbing are impossible. Culturally one of the best in the world (and a lot cheaper than say NewYork at that). Job is great with 30 days vacation etc pp, though a little lower than in the US. The motorway is a bit noisy, though I am very strict there. Sure, if you live in a shitty neighboorhood, thats different, but thats different everywhere (as number of remote jobs also doesn't help you if you are not remote yourself)
- pelasaco 5y agowhat would be a shitty neighborhood in your opinion in Berlin?
- jmercouris 5y agoThe places by Warschauer strasse, Wedding. Basically, most of East Berlin. Edit: removed Neukoelln, it is boring, but not bad.
- patall 5y agoI am in East Berlin, so I certainly disagree. And most places in the East that are single family housing are nice anyways. For example, the borough Hellersdorf-Marzahn contains the big 12-level blocks of Hellersdorf, Marzahn and Kaulsdorf-Nord with problems up and down, but also ~30k single family houses in Biesdorf, Kaulsdorf and Mahlsdorf (as well as the original village of Marzahn, not much left of Hellersdorf) that are super safe and more and more expensive. Localities that are not so nice (but again, it depends on the exact location) are Tiergarten, Wedding, Hohenschönhausen, Weissensee, Hellersdorf, Marzahn, Neukölln (the locality). Basically, cheap places are cheap for a reason.
- jmercouris 5y agoWell, it is of course opinion, in the end, you are right! I just personally strongly prefer West Berlin.
