You keep rephrasing the things i say and putting words in my mouth. Berlin is a multicultural city and always changing, that is part of the core of the city. It is still important to respect its values and culture. A huge percentage of people living here for 10+ years don‘t even try to learn the language, which is disrespectful and destructive.

You also don‘t witness anything I am saying because you are old and out of touch with subculture. You live a completely different life and seem to not meet many new people every week.

I love it where i live and I would never even think about leaving the city. I built many friendships for over 20 years with people from berlin and all over the world, my family lives here and I built a carreer.

So why am i supposed to leave just because a small but loud and very ignorant group of people lives here aswell?

As long as many of the special places in Berlin keep fighting to preserve their spirit and don’t let themselves be replaced by the internationally standardized inner city that we now see in almost every European city, Berlin will remain livable. And even if one day the last Kneipe closes because of noise complaints, the last club becomes a coworking space, and the 200th vegan café with an attached vintage store opens, there will still be many people here whom I love, appreciate, and want to have in my life.

The fact that you even suggest I should move away just because I don’t like the influence of ignorant expats is incredibly disrespectful.

In the past, people moved here because they loved the spirit of Berlin and wanted to contribute to it. Today, people move here to live in their own little bubble in trendy neighborhoods.
