The city’s creative energy and social scene have long been shaped by the starving artists and hipsters lured by its cheap rents and abandoned building space over the years—the flip side of the capital’s nearly 15% unemployment rate (roughly double the German national average) and nearly €60 billion ($78 billion) debt burden. „Poor but sexy“—as Berlin’s mayor, Klaus Wowereit, inadvertently branded the metropolis in 2003—a large contingent remains stubbornly wary of gentrification symbols, from the rise in rents and strollers in the once avant-garde neighborhood of Prenzlauer Berg to a $3.2 billion airport being built just outside the city. Even BMWs are suspect: Last year a record 270 cars, most of them luxury brands, were torched here.
