In this Thursday, April 4, 2019, file photo, apartment buildings in the former east part of the German capital photographed from the television tower in Berlin, Germany. Berlin is freezing the rents of 1.5 million apartments for the next five years starting this Sunday in a controversial move to control the exploding costs that have forced many to move outside Germany's capital city.

Only a minority of Berliners own their homes or apartments -- as in the rest of the country, the majority of people traditionally rent their homes. In addition there is an overall housing shortage in Berlin, which makes it even more difficult for newcomers or those who get pushed out of their homes due to the rent spike to find new, affordable living accommodations.

Germans literally paying the price for Merkel’s open door policies

1. the past 20 years, German cities and Metroregions didn't develope enough new housing areas. 2. more than a third of the former eastern german population moved from east to west. 3. many people move from rural areas to the cities, like everywhere else. It's not immigration...

The Main Cause is From Germany Immigration Policies By The UN and International Banks The Main Policy Is Germany Gets Money Paid To Them For Every Immigrant Accepted To The County To Boost Financial Wows To Pay Off Depths Same Here CAN

Isnt that what happens when you flood a place with 'newcomers'.Housing skyrockets..Geez,that sure does sound familiar.I wonder where else i see this going on,,hmm🤔

Just read article. Maybe Canada can do the same. Bc it is also happening here good for Germany

If you have a house that has been passed along from generation to generation all of a sudden its worth a million dollars Not bad, some might say thats almost as if you are previlaged to have had said property when the correction took place
