| The Germans most of all should stop subsidizing the building of private homes. The times when Germany had space ended by 1945. And nowadays, Germany (after Switzerland and a few others) is among the most densely populated countries in Europe and so should support rented apartments. | |

I beg to differ: These days many towns are fighting depopulation issues - they actually have to scale back rental homes, utility infrastructure etc. because of a decreasing population - you need to have a certain number of people flushing their loos to keep the sewage systems up and running. This is more acute in former GDR, but is an issue in parts of the West as well.
Don't confuse prosperous and prospering urban regions around Munich, Stuttgart, Frankfurt or Hamburg with Germany.
