> 120m2 apartments are like 2500 euros per month

That's only true if you want to live within the most popular areas of Berlin, within the ring and in fancy kiezs. There are many areas around that you can easily aford a 120m2 apartment, do not spread misinformation please.

Sure, not everybody can raise a family in mitte or prenzlauer berg with a single salary. But that kinda makes sense, no ?

>within the ring

So within the city of Berlin lol

The popular areas within the ring amount to single digit percentages of the Berlin metropolitan area.

The city of Berlin was confined to that region during the 20s.

Let me be clear: I'm not happy about the rent situation, or about the real estate investment market.

But saying that people are not having kids because you cannot feed a 4 person family on a single salary while living in mitte, yeah, breaking news.
