People of Berlin made a particularly stupid decision when they voted against any construction on the vast empty area known as the Tempelhofer Feld. They could have had anything they wanted, like car free residential area with lots of green, but they decided that no new housing is what they want.
- schoen 1y agoTo be fair, they use it quite a lot for exercise and recreation, so it's not like a completely disused open space. Other very expensive cities also have relatively huge parks (like Central Park in New York or Golden Gate Park here in San Francisco). I've heard people try to estimate the real estate value of Central Park, which may be somewhere around $1,000,000,000,000. The size of Tempelhofer Feld is apparently almost exactly the same as that of Central Park, although it's probably much less used compared to Central Park. It looks like Central Park might get somewhere around four times as many visits.
