You're gonna have a tough time defending that "ruins" statement. I know that anecdote != data, but I've been quite a few times what was East Germany (not just Berlin, but places in Märkisch oderland and in/around Dresden) and even though these are the poorer parts of Germany they're still ridiculously modern and well served in terms of infrastructure (Chemnitz is a little brutal, mind).
