But Leipzig doesn't have the same growth opportunity as Berlin. Leipzig is 1/8th the size of Berlin and as such its upper bound on how large a scene can become is massively capped. Add to that that Berlin has been a place for internationals for generations, whereas Leipzig is entirely German. For the record, I love Leipzig, I think it's gorgeous.
