there are a lot of cool projects to be built in the area of Tegel, including more housing. My University wants/needs to expand its campus there too and people who bought apartments in the area would get screwed over if Tegel would stay. It needs to go.

How would people who bought apartments next to the airport get screwed over? Are you suggesting that a potentially-inaccurate prediction of the future was priced in?

Millions of more people use Tegel than use those apartments, and if they aren’t “screwed over” living near the airport today, they wouldn’t be if it stayed open.

It wasn't a prediction, this was set in stone and only the disaster that is the BER construction made some people reevaluate it. Of course it was risky to buy a home based on this, but there are many other forward looking projects to be based in the Tegel area, many of which have been planned for over a decade and that have been invested in already.
