The proposal seems to be to not build anything, because it's a problem if apartments for single people are built.

I think we all also agree that it's a problem if housing for families is not built. But the route to more housing is rarely through problematizing other types of housing.

The proposal is definitely not that. The route to more housing for locals is definitely by "problematizing" empty flats build for store of wealth by foreign investors, that I see locally.
