politics should simply tackle the far-left by preemptively increasing housing affordability, they have no pull if housing is cheap and abundant.

widespread ETFs ownership is a good defense against socialist expropriation of corporations. Because you would also be expropriating millions of people's retirement funds. It's the homeownership society of the 21st century.

political carcinization: every public organization eventually devolves into a pension fund

the German housing stock is largely rent controlled but with compliance issues and weakly enforced. Instead of talking about the political failure of expanding housing supply, the entire conversation is now about landlords charging too high rent prices, as if that's the issue

Unser Mietpreisrecht ist ein ungerechter Mietenwirrwarr. Das Prinzip gleiche Miete für gleichen Wohnwert wird gröblich verletzt. Die Wohnungsfertigstellungen laufen schon seit 15 Jahren dem Bedarf hinterher. Jetzt braucht man Sündenböcke.

economic growth happens when people are allowed to do things differently. and what does a majority of the population hate? change. so provocatively put, economic growth happens when entrepreneurs and companies are allowed to do things the majority of the population dislikes
