Exactly.

After the leftists start to fuck up the real estate market with rental cap, statization, and other threats. The real estate investment fled the city.

Now it's almost impossible to find an apartment in Berlin anymore.

This populism is ruin the city, which needs to build new residents for the incoming influx of migrants.

Go to London. Then you'll see if the free market can provide what you want. It doesn't.

It has provided quite a few high rise buildings that are used by a lot of people. That will keep happening as long as it is allowed, making it possible for more people to enjoy the city.

(more rich people). Average people are not living there and they are getting increasingly squeezed. But if that's your goal, I guess we fundamentally disagree then.
