“to rescue the housing market?” – Hopefully. But it will not be easy, the shows on Thursday night in the daily mirror, as there is on this question will be discussed. The various actors are very different in their approaches. For example, in the question of whether more Building can help the housing market. It can also relieve the need to construct expensive apartments on the market – or quite the opposite, because the Rent index upwards is driven? The discussants argue, from the audience applause and “nonsense”Calls. You can see there is a similar controversy as to the Podium.

In the framework of the research project, “to Whom Berlin”, der Tagesspiegel operates together with Correctiv heard, there have already been several events in the housing market, on Thursday evening, the crowd is great again.

But why will now be built too little flats? Michael Jürgen Schick, President of the real estate Association IVD, the politics and administration. In Berlin, he lamented the lack of pace in building permits and a lack of building area. For a land-use plan of Berlin, in need of “for eight years, and Neukölln twelve”, new energy regulations also drove up the prices. The building area is Chic, has his own brokerage firm calls “density” in the city, and the “closing of gaps”, what prevented but “the Senate”. As an example, he cited Hamburg and Frankfurt am Main. In Frankfurt, the equivalent of seven flat would be built on 1000 inhabitants, in Berlin only four. As regards rent levels, is Frankfurt, but to Berlin.

The fault that is not built in, sees Lisa Paus also in the case of investors that bet on the price growth in development land. “Two permits” come in Berlin “a built house”, the Green member of the German Bundestag. Also, the Bundesbank see in Berlin, as in the other expensive German cities, meanwhile, a “speculative volume by 30 percent,” the purchase prices are 30 percent too high. To acquire land and this – untill – after a couple of years back to resell, it is worth for investors in the case of price increases of at least twenty, sometimes even 50 per cent in the year.

such speculation, the contractor, Christoph Gröner holds nothing. He calls on politicians to make tax-Not Build expensive. The founder of the CG group, takes issue with the policy, the lack of “creativity and ideas in the question”: “What are the rules of the game we impose such a people?”. Like the Pure Wild, managing Director of the Berlin tenants ‘ Association, therefore the free movement of capital in the EU to ask would be him, but not in the sense. The sharp confrontation on the Podium leads Gröner, however, with Lisa Paus. With their party friend, Florian Schmidt, the District Council of Friedrichshain-Kreuzberg, it has a prolonged confrontation.

At the end of Gröner has office the Post office, the Highly on Hallesches Ufer, re-sold. The former office tower he had to a living and want to rebuild the house with apartments, offices and shops. About his – now unrealized – plans unravels a fierce debate, at the end of which the client angrily stated: “I never had to rent for 40 euros the square meter, and will not do that.” Will not be further discussed, however, about Lisa Paus proposal to ban so-called “Share Deals”, in which the real estate tax is eliminated completely. It will not be sold the real estate, but the company they belong to.

Maren Kern, the Executive Board of the Berlin-Brandenburg housing companies of the private “German Living” up to the cooperatives represents the interests of approximately 350 housing companies, criticized the funding policy of the country. This strut “affordable housing for all”. You can find: “high earners should pay more.” Clearly, “Affordable new construction with prices from 6 EUR 50 is not to create the square meters “with the current construction Prices”.

the reason for the present plight of the city is for nuclear in the short-sightedness of those responsible: “I declared 2010, in Berlin’s housing shortage threatens”, “stupid explained” even from their own members. Now, in turn, complained to you, would be provided to the cooperatives is no cheap land available, but what would help future tenants. A man from the audience seconded the concerns nucleus. He lives, he says, in a cooperative apartment, “in which the rent has not been increased for twenty years”.

The subject of expropriation and the planned people will not desire in Berlin also plays a role (Schick warns of the Venezualisierung of Berlin), but on Thursday evening at the center. There is no prominent advocates sitting on the Podium. Even if Michael Jürgen Schick, Lisa Paus, a “Yes” or “no” to requests that don’t want to give it to him.

And the housing market is to save now? “The solution is not there in the blink of an eye,” says Moderator Lorenz Maroldt, editor-in-chief. A Couple from the audience draws, at the end of the Evening the conclusion: “All have a little bit right and a bit wrong”. Jürgen Michael Schick, would you agree to that, but presumably, when he says: “It is a core question of our society”.
