A dispute in your party regarding a possible expropriation of the living room – want to know the SPD leader Andrea Nahles nothing. In the party leadership, there is the question of a “really quite broad consensus,” said Nahles on Monday after a meeting of the SPD Federal Executive Board: “We were not all of us agree that the expropriation quickly creates affordable housing”, said Nahles.
Nahles: expropriation is “pseudo-solution”
expropriations were solution a “pseudo” – too expensive and too slow, in order to defuse the tense situation on the housing market. A “Rent cap” would make more sense, said Nahles. “Baugebote” for many years of fallow land could be considered.
Previously had demanded Nahles’ Deputy Chairman Ralf Stegner, “expropriation as a last resort, not exclude.” Also, the Berlin SPD members of the Bundestag Cansel Kiziltepe, as Stegner is a party to the left – looks like this: “As a last resort, expropriation must be possible,” she said to the daily mirror. Many real estate investors put tenants under pressure. “Since the state must be able to show teeth.” However, kızıltepe keeps the strict limitation of the Rent for the “fastest and better solution.” The subject was long discussed in the SPD, but still.
On the weekend, Green said chief Robert Habeck, he does not think that expropriation for the common good “emergency” is acceptable. Habeck refers to his party friend, the tübingen Lord mayor Boris Palmer. Wants to the shortage of housing in the baden-württemberg University town of relieve by the owner of some 500 fallow land more responsibility. In these days, you will receive Post from the city – with the question of whether they would be willing to build in the next four years. If not, the city offers to buy the property at market value. If you are not willing to do so, and threatens you with a penalty. At the end of may, as a last step, expropriation with compensation.
baukinder money: Expensive and the Benefits questionable
Palmer refers to the Federal building code. This provides, in Paragraph 176, a “Baugebot”, that allows municipalities, under certain conditions, access to undeveloped land. Green-chief Habeck considers this a legitimate way. It would be “absurd,” says Habeck, when this Instrument will only be used to build new highways, but not to the rampant housing shortage.
The dispute to the stimulus word “expropriation” is adjusted, in addition to all legal and financial frictions, which are hidden behind it, something to the fact that the Grand coalition is planning to long been a lot. The most controversial, since up to ten billion euros is very expensive and the Benefits questionable, is the baukinder money in the amount of 12,000 Euro per child (paid over ten years). Overall, should be provided in addition, for example, for social housing, at least two billion euros for the purpose.
Per year would have to rental apartments to be built according to the German tenants ‘ Association, around 400 000 new flats to ease the housing shortage – of the 80,000 Social. After all, the number of newly approved housing increased, according to new Figures in January, with 27.100 by 9.1 percent compared to the previous year.
Federal government forced eviction and gentrification
I hope the government in a kind of “Lex Bima”. Behind it is the Bundesanstalt für immobilienaufgaben (BImA). It belongs to the Federal government and is according to own information with a Portfolio of land with a total area of around 468.000 acres and about 36 000 flats ” is one of the largest real estate owners in Germany.”
Many real estate good city center are located, and for a long time, to the highest bidder Investor sold. That left the coffers of the Federal government’s ringing, but no affordable housing, but forced eviction and gentrification.
