once a big project, the ruins of the hafencity turned out to be the biggest monument of greediness and false hopes in old europe.
it started when the initial budget had to be raised and raised until the government could not pretend any appropriateness anymore.
people got fired, companys stepped back, and the big depression of 2008 gave the rest. from one day to another, the place was abonded. there even was no money left to take down the cranes, drive away the trucks. there were no owners anymore.

today, people only drive by this place to get from a to b, like it always has been in the past.
even childs avoid the place.
but it probably would never have been a place with lot of children.
it is said that some homeless people moved in the containers on the side of the elbphilharmonie concert hall, where the workers once used to stay. if, they are probably the only people these days who really live in the center of the city.
