„Mir tut das echt voll leid für die Armen. Is aber nicht mein Problem also Nyah Nyah Nyah“
Alle wollen regieren. Wir wollen verändern!
Reichtum teilen. Preise senken. Füreinander.
Wir machen die Alltagssorgen der Menschen zu unseren wichtigsten Forderungen im Wahlkampf: Das war unser Versprechen zu Beginn unserer Vorwahlkampagne, während der wir an rund 75.000 Haustüren in ganz Deutschland geklingelt haben. Die Ergebnisse waren eindeutig: Die Mieten und die Preise müssen runter!

Mit dem Mietendeckel ist eines der wichtigsten Projekte des Berliner Senats gescheitert. Es war ein Scheitern mit Ansage.
Ja, der Mietendeckel ist gescheitert. Schlimm genug! Aber was deutsche Kommentatoren (meist m) dazu raushauen, ist die eigentliche Katastrophe. Hier ein Beispiel aus der als "liberal" verschrieenen Süddeutschen Zeitung.
“After a year, Berlin’s experiment with rent control is a failure,” The Economist declared last month. Rents were down, the magazine observed, but so was the supply of available units.
“The number of classified ads for rentals has fallen by more than half,” The Economist explained. “Tenants, naturally enough, stick to their rent-capped apartments like glue.”
The result? Finding a place in the city had become incredibly difficult.
“Good luck finding a flat,” Bloomberg observed.
To make matters worse, in the absence of a free market, a “grey market” had emerged, reports say. To compensate for lost rent, landlords had begun demanding tenants pay ridiculous prices for furniture, kitchen appliances, and other basic amenities as a condition of renting, Bloomberg reported.
“For example, there’s a chair here; it’ll cost you 15,000 euros,” said Thomas Schroeter of ImmoScout24, an online platform for residential and commercial real estate; “or this stove, it’ll be 10,000 euros.”
Moreover, the fact that Berlin’s policy applied only to some housing (units built prior to 2014) meant that lawmakers had essentially created two housing markets—a large regulated one and a smaller unregulated one. This put intense pricing pressure on the unregulated market. The result?
“Newly built apartments have therefore become even more unaffordable for most people,” wrote Bloomberg columnist Andreas Kluth, citing research from Munich’s Ifo Institute.
No one likes high rent prices (except landlords, I suppose). But the solution to high rent is more housing and competition, not price controls.
As is often the case, Berlin’s rent control policy was driven by a genuine problem: soaring rent. The high prices are the product of increased housing demand and constrained supply.
Who is constraining supply? Ryan McMaken answered that question in a 2020 article on why housing costs are so high in many cities.
“City planners control what sort of housing can be built — and where — through zoning and land-use laws. These central planners tell us where housing must be single-family or multi-family,” McMaken wrote. “They tell us if you're allowed to rent out one of your bedrooms to a non-relative. They tell us if you can build an auxiliary housing unit on your property.”
Rent control can’t fix housing problems. It’s one of the few issues economists overwhelmingly agree on. But deregulating real estate markets can.
