What ? You would have said Paris I would totally agree but Berlin, really ? It's definetly not expensive to live here compared to other european capitals (buying a flat costs 3,036€[1] per square metter, compared to the 8000 you need in Paris) and even compared to other german big cities (München, Hamburg).

Maybe in an old not renovated building, or concrete communist blocks. Anything refurbished or newly constructed starts at 4-5k euro/m^2.

Which is still pretty affordable for the capital of a rich european country: it's half the price you get in London, Paris, Bruxelles or Roma.
