Is Gesundbrunnen a no-go area? I keep an eye on Polizeimeldungen for Berlin and it seems like almost all knife attacks, robberies and murders take place in Gesundbrunnen. I've only ever been to the train station and the shopping center there but the area looks super sketchy.

People here are the weirdest I’ve ever encountered in my life. Example, you work, hang out, and go for drinks with the same colleagues for two years or more. Leave and go to another job maybe don’t see your ex-colleagues for a year or two. They pass by you on the street like they don’t know you. I swear Germans are mentally unstable.

Any place that's been touched by communism seems to carry a dark energy. Berlin, Bulgaria, Poland, mother Russia etc all have incredibly bad vibes in general.

Now I know there are pockets of joy and warm people in these places but the architecture, cold weather and older generations make these places downright intolerable. Nothing is worse than boarding public transport in the rain and then having an old wrinkled face that has never experienced anything more luxurious than luke warm potato soup send you a death stare because you have all the buttons on your coat.

And to be clear: If Germans were actually serious about fixing racism here or renaming weird racially insensitive streets then they need to just freaking do it. But it's all just a bunch of Anti-Trump, Anti-American Gen Y losers who are showing up to these protests and acting like they're so deep and inclusive.

She wants people to put her on a pedestal for supposedly being "non-white" and not on the merits of the soundness of her reasoning.

I don’t understand what happened. When I first moved to Berlin I loved it, although it was a struggle, I thought I just had to get myself situated.

I don’t get how I had such a fun time before, I think it’s because I was subletting and I didn’t have an anmeldung. I know it sucks to not have anmeldung and bounce around if you want to live there, but my suggestion to anyone who wants to live in Berlin is just sublet for a summer and don’t get in their system.

So true. Germans scoff at PhDs in New York City who end up driving cabs while the foreign-born PhDs here (of which there are few because German academia has managed to hold on to biased, highly subjective selection processes for PhD programs - hell for most university programs) scrub toilets or deliver packages for Amazon. These people consider 40,000 EUR per year a "very good" salary. Calculate your monthly disposable income and use that to figure out how many years you'd have to save to buy a modest 50m2 apartment here. Backwards country.

I also remember feeling uncomfortable in the area I was staying, tense and on edge (kreuzberg). I am not sure why I became obsessed with the place, or considered to look into more what life was like there. I think what made it hard is I met several people during my time there who “loved” Berlin but nobody told me otherwise.

Lmao look at the costs just for a notary when buying real estate here. Germans like to pretend their notaries are anything more than a robot that reads text aloud and confirms signatures because otherwise they'd be mad at having to pay several thousand euros for zero actual benefit. But these are also the same people that thibks it makes sense to pay a realtor 3x monthly rent because they let you look at an apartment for 15 minutes once. Everything here is designed to rip you off.

just a shitton of unnecessary closing costs when you buy. Property tax in Germany is low because somehow the government managed to f#ck up their own calculations for like 60 years. The highest court decided that how it's done now has to be changed but Germany is trying to postpone that because it's gonna financially ruin a shittton of people. Eventually it's gonna change though and everything is gonna get a lot more expensive, including renting an apartment.
