    15 or ten years ago, it was (I am the first to acknowledge) a good deal, but today it's the ultimate poverty trap - a trap that so many people have found themselves in. Just when you think you have a few dollars in your pocket, along comes the local City Council. No wonder 74% of the people in Berlin rent.

    Falling property values might not be reflected in recent local body rate hikes, leaving people hundreds of dollars poorer after paying hefty rate bills.
