I disagree, Overall I find that Germany really strikes a good balance. Nice social security net, nice salaries, very low criminality, free school and universities, nice public transport. What else do you need to have a family? Real estate is indeed a bit on the expensive side, but it is the same situation everywhere else.

Yes you feel a decline because of the aging population and low business growth. I agree that a developing country will be more vibrant and you will feel more alive, but you will have to deal with a shit tons of other issues that are non existant in Germany.

I agree with you that these points are currently good. But my question is whether it will look the same in 20 years' time. At the moment, I think that Germany lacks vision and is trying to achieve improvements through bans rather than concrete measures. In the countryside, public transport is still very poorly developed, but on the other hand, services like Uber or other forms of shared taxis are banned or given little support. Don't get me wrong: I am happy with my situation in the last few years, but I fear that future generations will no longer have such a situation due to a lack of vision and wrong measures.
