The debate about the expropriation of private real estate companies in Berlin

The Left won the election in Berlin with the promise of large-scale expropriation. Since then, many people have been looking into crystal balls. What will the capital look like once more than 200,000 apartments belonging to private real estate companies have been socialized, i.e. taken away from their current owners and handed over to the general public? Depending on which crystal ball you look into, you see very different futures.

Business associations are warning against this experiment, which is unprecedented nationwide. Research institutes extrapolate, forecast and estimate. The results are so diverse that everyone can choose what suits them best, depending on their political preferences. But the scientists don't answer the central question either.
