reminder:

#HomeOwnershipRate in #Germany is low because after the #war ONLY the state could house that many homeless people:

"It worked. Home-building boomed, thanks to a combination of direct subsidies and generous tax exemptions available to public, non-profit and private entities. #WestGermany chopped its #HousingShortage in half by 1956."

We're now 50 years into reversing that trend & forcing people into buying #homes.

And it DOESN'T WORK. For 50 fucking years!!
