And that's what happens when you villify the wealthy and some idiots take it to heart. We had those psychotic environmentalists doing that in Cali a few years ago; it'll probably happen again.

It's probably more of a generational thing. Mad at the yuppies that stole their future with credit for a POS with electric seats. Makes sense in a way, but I still think burning of government and central bank property is more productive.

The Prenzlauer Berg section of Berlin where most of the trouble is taking place as it looked in 1983 and up until reunification. All of the facades have been restored and most of the buildings have become high-rent apartments, displacing former residents and stirring a great deal of resentment.

It survived the bombings and the battle for the city fairly well. Due to neglect under the socialist government, it still carried the scars from the war when the Wall came down. It became a popular area for the young counter-culture types, but the rustic charm also caught the eye of yuppies and developers. http://tinyurl.com/bjm5av Last edited by Fitz; 03-02-2009 at 10:23 AM.
