4. Berlin’s crime rate is higher than in all the other German states.
I bet they haven't even figured out the connection
In this single urban deal....there is no connection between “Berlin struggling to provide adequate care for refugees” and “Berlin’s crime rate being higher than other German states”.
While most German cities are run by one single city council and one mayor....Berlin has a network of city-neighborhoods which have some autonomy over their area. Because of this disconnect....there’s no central authority or leadership. So you have one neighborhood arguing about raising up a container-village for their refugees and another group wanting the city-state itself to pay for new low-income permanent housing. Neighborhood groups are fighting other neighborhood groups over territory authority and why they have to take in refugees.
The crime problem goes chiefly to two issues. First, there’s an average of a million tourists per month for Berlin now. It’s a magnet for pick-pockets and snatch-and-go punks. Second, you have the Riga Street riots which erupt every two or three months....with burnt cars, damaged store-fronts, etc. The Riga crowd are all building squatters that the cops can’t tame or control....so it turns into major riots. I can’t of another German city that has this squatter issue to such a degree.
So ofc Merkel wants more, millions more rapefugees! Because she is such a great humanitarian.... or something.
