How more housing can be created? At least, not by expropriation of large housing companies, has positioned itself Chancellor Angela Merkel in the debate. Green-chief Habeck had kept the idea conceivable.
In the debate about the housing shortage and high Rents, has also turned to Chancellor Angela Merkel against the possibility of expropriation. The Chancellor consider “the expropriation of housing corporations is not an appropriate tool to alleviate the housing shortage,” said government spokesman Steffen Seibert. The key to affordable housing is to have a sufficient number of apartments available. The coalition agreement provides for a variety of measures.
the Chancellor and the entire German government is very aware that the need for affordable housing “is a large theme for the people”, and that Rents and real estate prices just for the recipients represented the lower and medium income a load. The answer to that is not expropriation, stressed Steffen Seibert.
