 The issue of the housing market in Berlin is that few large corporations own a very big share of the market. This gives them a lot of power and leads to problems such as dubious service charges, census modernization, no heating in winter, a general lack of affordable housing and rising rents. And while all of this affects marginalized groups very severely, it even has an impact on middle-class families or pensioners who can afford to live here less and less. Deutsche Wohnen-Quent-Eignen initiated a referendum one year ago on whether to expropriate the large profit-oriented housing corporations and socialize their housing stock so that it would belong to all of the billionaires. We won over an incredible 59.1%. And now it's time to put pressure onto the implementation of the referendum because the real estate lobby has very strong ties to politics and while politicians debate and discuss laws and block the implementation, the rents are still rising and people are being driven out of their neighborhoods.
