Sure, but those you can have basically everywhere, don't need to pick the rich neighborhoods or generally expensive cities.
I lived in our capital once. It had not one benefit I couldn't find elsewhere. At least none I would've found. And we move every few years to somewhere else in krautland.
The reason I'd live in Berlin is the food and culture. Why would I need to go anywhere? every big production visits Berlin. Some of the best food in the world, beer gardens and parks and I just ride the u-bahn everywhere?
Oh and the people are fucking incredible!
Good damn I'm selling myself on living there all over again. Berlin was my favorite city in the world a decade ago. I'd have stuffed myself in a shoebox to live there in my 20s. Now I'll need a decent size flat but it's still a nice dream.
For the record I now live in a city and it's good but not the same level of dreaminess as basically any European city, even the smaller ones.
Not just referring to the rich neighborhoods. Perhaps it's different in Krautland, but in the US, moving further away from the city center moves you further away from resources like those I mentioned. It creates a difference between being able to have a medical appointment during a lunch break and having to take a whole day off for it, for example.
