I am from Switzerland, so I don’t have the full picture, but I do remember that eastern (ex-communist) germany, where berlin is located, has/had a huge problem with people from the countryside fleeing to westgermany or the cities.
It was once so bad that a (i think government-) commission recommended giving up the villages completely and only focus on the cities. Which was received as well as you imagine it.
This is btw also a reason why the extreme right is so popular in eastern germany. All those with a more liberal mindset have fled. Definitely not the only reason, but one of them.
