      Na man. Big cities is the thing where offices are understaffed. And not everybody wants to live in a small town or village where you might be able to walk-in on civil offices but have to own a car because no supermarket or workplace is in walkable distance.

        Not every big city is Berlin and I have no idea where you get the idea of villages without supermarket but with a town hall from. If you’re that small you’re in a Verwaltungsgemeinschaft.

          I’m not talking Berlin. Also, I didn’t say no supermarket, I said no supermarket in walkable distance. Like the village I grew up in, 6k inhabitants, 45 minutes by foot to the next supermarket because they were all in the same location with a big parking lot. Or the next town, 20k inhabitants but one supermarket at the train station and one near each of the three bigger roads out of it and around an hour to ninety minutes walking distance between them.

            Bikes exist. Also that’s all not a function of municipality size but density, you can have very urban 20k or 20k that are spread out worse than Reitbrook. Big city life, right there, part of an 1.8M municipality.

              Don’t get me started on bicycle infrastructure, please.

              And yes, there’s obviously better and worse places on different topics, Germany is the second biggest country in Europe by population (including Russia because european russian population is big enough, excluding turkey because european turkish population isn’t).

              All I wanted to make was a joke about bad german administration. But I should’ve known I’d get the ”UhM, aCkScHuAlLy“-crowd all worked up.
