That was Berlin several decades ago. The gap has closed now and it's just another city.

Well, Berlin's history was a bit more complicated. Between the 'losing the empire' bit and the 'surplus housing' was a whole generation or two of the city being divided and one part living under siege and the other under real world socialism.

But you are right, that surplus housing is no longer a thing in Berlin.
