Plenty of "rented" apartments sitting empty in Berlin. People don't give a fuck about the laws, if there's no enforcement and the market is in the favor of the landlords.
>maybe instead take a look at vienna which has a model that actually works.
Why is it that people can only name Vienna? Vienna is the exception, not the rule. Hence why it's the only city in Austria doing it and not the whole country. If only there was a switch every city in the world could flip and magically turn into Vienna overnight, but housing in real life doesn't work like that.
Some cities have found a balance by deregulating the market, not further regulating it. There's no silver bullet solution that can be applied everywhere like a blanket. That's why Vienna is the only city people can name where regulations have done more good than bad, because it's the exception as in most other cities regulations have made the situation worse, like Berlin.
>do you think without the protection berlin would be any better?
Have they tried deregulating it for an A/B test to see? Because all people do is just maintain the status quo while complaining it's not working but also psy-opped themselves into thinking that any change of that status quo would be even worse even though they don't have experience with any other model.

i don't think this argument makes sense. first of all, the existence of an exception proves that a better way is possible. second the whole point is that vienna has different regulations than berlin. you would have to point to cities that apply the same regulations as vienna but have a different outcome to be able to claim that vienna is an exception that somehow inexplicably works better, and then you could argue that we don't know why vienna is an exception. but the outcome in vienna can very well be explained. it's that the city owns a lot of property and subsidizes new developments. which other city in the world does that? show me a city that applies the same strategy as vienna without getting the same results. i don't think there is one.
