Its funny when europeans complain about carbrains. They have no idea what north american car brain looks like

I was told italy was very carbained yet they have trains going everywhere at very high frequencies and i felt very safe walking around everywhere when i visited

I am not suggesting that europeans wait until it gets really bad before complaining about the problem.

Did you ride a bike? Berlin is good for pedestrians (in many parts) but often life-threatening for bikes.

There's defenetly worse urbanism in many other places but that doens't make ours good.

There are barely any cars in central Berlin anyway.

Can you specify which "central" Berlin? the "center" or rather centers of Berlin are many and big. And most of them are choked full of cars. The government district and Tiergarten, which is a big park are a bit of an exception. Although there is the whole roundabout the Siegessäule with 5 or so three lanes per direction, streets leading off of it and regularly being full with traffic.

The center West around Zoologischer Garten and Kurfürstendamm is a complete car-brained nightmare and the center East around Alexanderplatz is until Brandenburger Tor is a bit less crazy but still quite a bit. However when you get to the streets leading up there, it is complete madness.

For the Siegessäule see the picture and imagine it to be mostly full.

Did you happen to be there when traffic was blocked off in the centre, by any chance? Because there are shit tons of cars around usually.

Berlin? Last week? No shit, me too!

I went to see Linkin Park 🤘

I'll agree that the traffic was not bad at all. I was expecting much worse! But given how good the public transport system is there, I think if I lived there I'd only ever use a car to travel out of Berlin rather than within it.
