It was in need for a big renovation itself and the whole of north Berlin will disagree with your statement. Since its closed, every place, flat/house and especially parks/lakes etc. are so much more livable. Having the airport for a city of this size a little outside of the city and not the outer part of the city centre is very reasonable in my opinion.
