The bit about train / flight scheduling is interesting.

I have no idea about how it works for flights, but I can definitely confirm that almost all manners of trains were right on time on Japan during my 5 years there. Hell, they even apologised if they left early because people time their connections to the last second too.

Your article on the pared-down car-free zone in Graefekiez reminded me: is Berlin going to allow restaurants to take over parking spots for outdoor dining again this summer? I know it was popular in Xberg/F'schain, but haven't seen any news about it happening again this year.

"Balsack-Winkemann wouldn’t want immigrants sharing information with other immigrants." Are you kidding, or has she taken a stand on freedom of the press I don‘t know about? If you are kidding, may be irresponsible considering your demographics. Also, I am not sure it was 20,000 Prussian soldiers putting down the March Revolutionaries? The fighters were verily outnumbered, but many historians say the number was closer to 13,000.
