Sorry the article is full of nonsense. Rents are rising quickly in Berlin, and the government is not paving way for enough new housing to compensate for the demand. Limits on rents are also a reason why fewer housing is being built.
As for the protesters on the street - yes, it happens, but usually they are not successful.
It's really weird to see Berlin cited as an example for successful housing policies.
It may be so that if you can stay in your flat, you are in a relatively good position. But there are many people moving to Berlin, and people having kids can also not always stay in their old flat. So that policy only helps a few old residents.

In Berlin you can at least find a run-down shared punker flat or occupied house if you're OK with that, in Munich you're straight outa luck if you aren't best friends with a RE broker. LPT: If you ever have the chance to befriend a broker, do so - it might save your ass in the future.
