One doesn't need to work and pay taxes in Berlin to take a bicycle ride there, and better don't enter into or swim in its murky lakes and ponds.
What are those reasons, that don't also exist in other better-run European cities, like Vienna for example? At least there you don't have to fight 200 other people for a shitty overpriced apartment.
I also like Berlin to visit, attend tech conferences or meet-up, concerts and parties, but moving there now would simply wear me out.
Sure that's understandable, but that's nothing objective in that, that's just a personal choice based on personal taste and circumstances, which can apply to any other city if you think about it.
There are so many other fun cities in Europe where you don't have to put up with all that nonsense.
That's nothing special to warrant overhyping Berlin even further, it already suffers from a branch of the Paris syndrome they could call it Berlin syndrome.
