Always had mixed feelings on this statewide rent control law. It's well intended of course but had both positive and negative impacts. At the same time, the federal rent control law is too weak.
Generally speaking, the only real solution to Germany's massive housing problems is construction, construction and more construction of house units. Lower or eliminate the land value tax, simplify the construction code, increase more public housing and create more incentives for the private sector to build affordable units. Anything else is not effectively. There's not enough living space as demanded available at this point which is why costs for rent and property are at insane levels.
