Google is coming to Berlin Kreuzberg and locals are far from happy. Here’s why
This article is available to Members of The Local. Read more Membership Exclusives here. “If there is one place in the world that could kick this colossus in the nuts,” says Larry Pageblank, “it is Kreuzberg and Berlin.” The colossus is Google. And “Larry Pageblank” is the playful pseudonym - Larry Page is a co-founder of Google - of a man who is taking a stand against the American tech giant and what he sees as its malign influence on the world. The name of Pageblank’s network, “Fuck off Google”, is also a message - a fairly unsubtle one at that. “Fuck off Google” is just the most colourfully named group of several that want to stop one of the largest companies in the world from expanding into Kreuzberg. Key allies include Shitstorm, an “anarchical newspaper” handed out at anti-Google meetings, and Bizim Kiez, a group battling to stop gentrification in Kreuzberg.

Berlin has the fastest rising housing prices in the world, study finds
Berlin ranks first in front of cities like Hong Kong, Paris and London when it comes to rising real estate prices, a study released on Tuesday found. Three other German cities also made it into the top ten. It comes as no surprise that Berlin prices are on the rise. However, that Berlin ranks as the city with the fastest rising real estate market in the world is a staggering statistic for the capital's inhabitants. According to a Global Residential Cities Index from British consulting firm Knight Frank, real estate prices in the rest of the world aren't rising at even nearly the same rate as in Berlin. On average, the growth rate in real estate prices internationally is at 4.5 percent, down from the 7 percent average recorded a year before. This means that for much of the rest of the world, the percentage of increase in real estate prices has dropped.
