I wonder how the property tax changes affect Kleingärten? I assume that their land is ‘less worthy,’ which touches on a particular unfairness of this tax change: supposedly it is precisely the institutions that are being taxed which give the area its value in the first place.

So what? What someone knew I worked in one of the malls that have a camera or at the airport police? How is that different, it's a public space and should be monitored

Because there have been reported cases of the police using these records to stalk people or by the far right to threaten people with very little consequence for the misuse of authority.

Why would you want to move across Mitte anonymously unless you're doing something wrong? It's one of the most crowded areas in Berlin and no one cares about an individual except if they raise suspicions imo

What if somebody who knew you worked in the police? Or knew somebody who worked at the police?
