I have never been to Berlin, but I've been to Austin a number of times. The image I have of Berlin, admittedly comes from American news and pop culture references, is likely not terribly accurate but there is no way that I would have ever considered Berlin to be an up-and-coming version of Austin. Berlin has over 3 million people while Austin has less than 1 million, that's a pretty big difference right there. But I get that the comparisons have more to do with the an emerging tech industry that is complemented by a distinct music scene. I wonder, anyone here been to both cities? Is there a valid comparison to be made?
