> "unaffordable" makes no sense because obviously, there are enough people that can afford it. Doesn't mean thinks didn't become unaffordable for other people.

> "unaffordable" makes no sense because obviously, there are enough people that can afford it. Doesn't mean thinks didn't become unaffordable for other people. If a lot a people which grow up do or are considering leaving because they can't afford rent it's a social problem. > The issue is that Germany does not have a housing crisis, there are at least 600k uninhabited housing units. Just because there are housing units in some places doesn't mean there is no housing crisis. Because what point are housing units in the wrong places. Because what point is a housing unit in a area where there is no work, no hospitals (close by), no supper market (close by), no public transport (which goes frequently), no restaurants, bars or people to meet, probably bad internet, etc. I mean if that places would be nice countryside nature places it might be interesting, but they often aren't even that. They often are areas where in the past there had been a lot of manual work (car industry, coal mining, heavy industry, etc.) and it went away, as well as small villages. > People are drawn into cities Often out necessity, due to the points mentioned above.
