I have seen a documentary on TV yesterday. It's sad, isn't it? I am confident that the City of Berlin will fund a great project which will be an economic disaster…

I still think closing the City of Berlin for good is the economically best solution.

I second that.
Glad I moved away from there. Will only come back once the communist-socialist "party"-mayor is either being prosecuted or being exorcised from the city.

nah, while I agree with you from an economic point of view, Berlin is not all that bad . But probably I just love Berlin because I was born and grew up there.
