So what happened to Berlin? It went to a nice cheap affordable city to an Anglo style neoliberal nightmare. I realize it got popular and people moved there but if there are such renter friendly laws in place how did Berlin end up like it did?
- seanmcdirmid 3y agoI don't think any rent control/relaxed zoning regulations can survive popularity with new residents that have substantial buying power. Berlin was cheap for so long because it wasn't popular, but it had everything to be popular, and so eventually would be. Tokyo would be the same if salaries/wages in Tokyo weren't so depressed.
