The real NIMBYists are the ones who pushed these people to ghettos, next to Berlin Wall.

I want my city to be better and i want workers to do this. -Immigrants? Not in my backyard.

I want my city to be culturally rich and i want to be proud of the art that created in my city. -Punks? Unemployed artists? Not in my backyard.

Because of this, these people located in Kreuzberg... many many years ago, before the Wall even came down.

Now the wall came down and the same people say:

I want to have a nice and cheap(er than my area) office next to Landwehrkanal in Kreuzberg. -Immigrants and artists next to my office? Not in my backyard.

Wow, not only are your points completely a-historical and just stitched-together buzzwords from German history. You also have chutzpah to teach others about their history while living just for two years in Berlin (as you openly admitted in another comment here).
