>Yes but they get points for trying.

Sorry, but trying an obviously populist measure that further sinks housing availability and makes thing worse for everyone does not get you any points anywhere.

In Australia this would not be a populist move. The difference in housing situation/markets is really interesting.

The key point that Berlin seems to realise, but Australia definitely doesn't, is that the purpose of houses is for people to live in them, not make money investing in them.
