Has anyone left Berlin for slightly smaller city for more peaceful life?
I work remotely and make decent money. My apartment lease is ending soon, and I also got single recently. I have lived here for around 5 years, and I feel things are just getting crazier here. I don't think things will improve here in the future.
I have shortlisted these cities (Hamburg, Munich, Stuttgart, Frankfurt, Cologne, Düsseldorf) as the next possible home. I don't expect any of these places to be perfect, but I hope for less chaos than Berlin.
Has anyone tried such an experiment? Where did you move to? How was your experience?
Update: Since many people asked, I will try to describe my definition of chaos. It's not a single factor. Just a general feeling:
1. Drug problem
2. Homelessness
2. Too much anonymity
3. Public transports always over-crowded
4. Too many cars everywhere
5. Hard to find an apartment
6. Shady landlords
6. Commute time is so much
7. Concrete jungle instead of cute traditional houses
8. Lack of nature (compared to Munich, for example) #local source
