Waldemar Hartmann wrote that the Left, the Greens, and the SPD had agreed on a compromise in Berlin regarding the expropriation of private property owners. He asked how parties that were part of state governments or, like the SPD, were part of the federal government could enter into such a compromise. Expropriation was a step towards state socialism, which had already been tested and failed, he stated. Furthermore, Hartmann urged Chancellor Merz to remove the SPD from the government and declared that appeals were useless. #Enteignung #Wohnungsbau #Politik (translated)

The author wrote that the Left shows an effect.

Today, it is being discussed seriously. Uncertain property deters investors and hampers housing construction, he wrote. (translated)

We will present our concept in the fall and then get started as quickly as possible. "We have had enough of that," said Hubertz. We also do not want a new construction company, but rather to collaborate with market partners to fully utilize the factories with our orders. The federal partners can be from the private sector or also municipal and state-owned housing corporations, said Hubertz. As a federation, we can award contracts on a large scale and thus achieve a price advantage. #Wohnungsmangel #Baugesellschaft #Berlin (translated)

Emanuel Boeminghaus described Berlin pejoratively and stated that the construction industry in the city is under strong pressure. The plans of the Left for socialization unsettle investors and banks and could jeopardize new housing construction projects, he explained. Citing construction industry president Olaf Demuth, Boeminghaus reported that Berlin construction companies are increasingly having difficulties obtaining new loans. According to Demuth, the plans deter international investors. The socialization of around 200,000 apartments would, according to Demuth, cost between 20 and 30 billion euros; additionally, no new apartments would be created as a result. Whether the plans would be implemented remained uncertain. Boeminghaus pointed to growing uncertainty among construction companies regarding financing, investments, and future contracts. He cited BILD from October 11, 2026, as the source. https://t.co/5CoU9qTlj9 #Berlin #Bauindustrie #Immobilien (translated)
