Two messages from this weekend: for The second year in a row, remains of Berlin with construction permits behind the self-set goals. In the SPD grows meanwhile, a week before the state Convention, the tendency to support the Initiative for the expropriation of large housing companies such as “Deutsche Wohnen”.

The years of rising state revenues will be alone for this reason, soon come to an end.

once, in the late 90s, there was, for other reasons, a similar bloodletting in the middle Generation, for the stability of an urban society is so important. At that time, families moved out from the large housing estates like märkisches Viertel, earned too much for a residential certificate of eligibility. They settled in Brandenburg.
