As a person living in austria, I strongly believe that goverment build housing and strong regulation of pricing and the market is the only way to keep housing affordable for all people and not make it a speculation object like in germany/berlin.

Did you know that in the late 90 the housing was good and affordable?

And that a big chunk was owned by the city or state?

That these things were then sold for pennies, to companies who only want to exploit people?

Did you know that after there were laws passed against raising the rent exorbitant, many companies cheated?

They raised the cost that you have to pay for the house services which are included, without doing that services or charging way to high
