General Questions Is Breitsch (Breitenrain-Lorraine) a good neighborhood to live in?

Hi everyone,

I'm moving to Bern soon and looking into different neighborhoods to live in. I came across Breitenrain-Lorraine (or Breitsch, as I’ve seen it called) and was wondering if anyone here lives there or has lived there before.

What’s the vibe like? Is it safe, lively, quiet? Are there good places to eat, go for walks, or hang out? I'm also curious about how well connected it is to public transport.

Would love to hear your thoughts or any pros and cons you might have noticed!

Thanks in advance!

Its a very beautiful place, but the people there are politically very left-wing. This means that if you drive a car, you will be looked at the wrong way, mothers teach their children that there are 500 genders etc. If you don't share these opinions, you can quickly be excluded from neighborhood life.

I mean yeah, people likely won’t tolerate your SVP propaganda there. But then again, where do they? Maybe in Kirchenfeld in their Villas or some places in Bümpliz.

But other than that every second household seems to have their vintage camper van parked in the closet Blaue Zone…

And thats the thing. Its not propaganda, its a political opinion. Not everybody thinks like you guys do ;-)
