I’d like to add detail to that
The German equivalent of zoning laws are certainly an issue, but the main drivers of housing costs are firstly mismatched supply/demand because of internal migration & regulations that favor existing tenants (plus ofc immigration). And we’ve got expensive building standards. Like… even if you build to a “low” standard today, it is more luxurious than any of the like seven places I’ve lived in.
