I mean the public transport infrastructure here is great, and there's a lot to love about the place (it's why I'm still here after all).

But spot on about the mentality. A lot of that great infrastructure here was inherited, and the attitude around it's continued development has been super conservative. Not to mention the Berlin government is borderline insolvent.

Just look at the cluster fuck that was car free Friedrichstr.

Warsaw is great, need to visit Poland again, have a huge soft spot for pączki.
