In a previous post, I asked the readers to guess why one section out of four, which make up our new home, is inhabited by people who do not place plants on their windows and balconies.
The answer is simple - every 4th section in the building is allocated for free housing subsidized by the German government. The reason behind is to discourage forming of poor or ethnic neighborhoods. This helps, but is not a panacea. The reason is that the poorest people are not those on dole, but those who work for minimal wage or below.
So the folks who live in that building are diverse - ethnically and socially.
Some like having fun (I've tried to make a pic small so there are no faces just silhouette).
So the question still remains - why they don't like plants? If they don't like flowers that is fine. Our neighbour downstairs have tomatoes, onions, etc on their balconies.
