That is not what I meant. More in comparison with other cities Hamburg is not the most suitable one. I currently live in Hamburg. The event costs the city around 400 million Euro, elsewhere the summon would have been way less expensive - a fraction of this figure. To assure safety swallows a big chunk of this amount, at the same time big areals of the city are being shut down, which is unpleasant. One of the major worries within the safety operations are leftwing radicals and escalating protests. Something Hamburg has a history of.

Interesting. I found that Hamburg has a lot of British influence. Maybe because of the Beetles who played there when they started out, or because it is a major port near London. How long have you been living there?
