So essentially, if you own anything, and don't give it away for free, you are a parasite? There is plenty of cheap land available everywhere. Berlin from the OPs story was very, very cheap 20 years ago, but then the socialist didn't want to buy. They preferred to enjoy the cheap rents. The government even sold most of the social housing. Now that it has gone up in value, they want to have their shares, risk free.
