The permanent construction site at Alexanderplatz requires victims, but it will be worth it, says BZ editor Hildburg Bruns Photo: dpa/picture-alliance

It sucks! Every morning the double, time-consuming hopping from one U2 platform to the other. again in the evening. A comment from BZ editor Hildburg Bruns.
At least the state of Berlin should not suffer any financial damage from the underground construction chaos. It would be even nicer!
The polluter pays principle applies here, i.e. the private builder has to do it. Even if subsidence damage during construction is almost normal.
The fact that the Greens and the Left derive a construction and planning freeze for high-rise buildings because of the commuting nerves is simply flat.
In any case, I hope that the construction pits will make Alexanderplatz look like a bed of asparagus instead of Swiss cheese forever. Because skyscrapers are good here in Berlin.
