TY. Someone needs to do the math on this, because I assume it would net more to rent all if you own >100 properties, and would not make a difference if less, depending on the city size ofc, especially when you leave the majority empty.
Thank you. Understood. Was not thinking in a scale that would impact market value, and still think this would not generally apply here (Germany), where - in my bubble - only small scale landlords exist.
Probably I’m really, really dumb, but I still do not understand where the landlords would get their money from, even with your second text. If they don’t rent, but just sit on their unrented property, they loose money imho. Even if its only threough property taxes, and other cost. So could you clarify your thesis?
Could you explain? Why would it be profitable not to rent and generate cashflow? Because they speculate on rising building prices? That may only be true in a very few high value areas.
The last two panels :-)
Wow, joined 5 hours ago, already half the comments removed, and the rest full of hatespeech. Go outside, drink a beer or sth and calm down, bot.
Cracks in the pressure vessel? Nah, this’ll hold another two decades…

Can confirm. Example: Was on a work trip in Tibilisi, Georgia last year, and 5G coverage everywhere, fiber everywhere, even the smoothie bar next to our site had wireless and usb chargers embedded in their countertops. Free (albeit somewhat clogged) wifi throughout the city. Younger, or far more flexible demographics and mental flexibility and willingness to use technology. No letterbox to be seen as nearly every communication is digital. Getting a SIM takes 5 minutes with digital verification in the shop, even for a German (looking at you, Postident!).
Article does not cover the why question, only partly how it came to that situation: A government stuck in the past. I’d like to add that laying cable/fiber costs money, so the providers like to milk that invest as long as possible. So while we have ftc here, there’s still multiple dslams on that curb distributing the net though copper to the homes. Some even still set up with adsl line cards (15 mbps instead of 250), although newly built. Some efforts are being made to provide fth, but these are hard to distribute in 1950 era buildings. These costs are mainly not recoverable by rent, need a heavy planning effort and all tenants in that building would be bound to one provider for one or two years, which most of mine do strictly not want. Not only the government is stuck in the past here. When I asked my provider if I could have fiber and dsl as fallback and for testing those few who understood the question just laughed.
Well the Greens already invited Merz to discuss this topic before the elections and Merz and his CSU cronies denied, and now took the Green’s votes for granted w/o even talking to them. So, Merz probably should first learn some basic manners before going into politics.
