Regarding Germany and Sweden: Vonovia is a real state company that buys homes and rents them. It owns some 600.000 housing units, meaning that literally tomorrow you could take all of the rent contracts, tear them up, write ownership contracts to the tenants, and instantly solve 1mn+ lives without hurting anyone but the pockets of one company

Again: YOU COULD SOLVE 1MN PEOPLES' LIVES AT A PEN'S STROKE AND IT'S NOT DONE BECAUSE WE LIVE IN A DISGUSTING SYSTEM

The people of Berlin voted to take the apartments held by Deutsche Wohnen into public ownership, another property hoarding company. The language of the referendum made it essentially binding, yet the Berlin senate refuses to move forward. A second referendum was even passed with a practical law proposal and still nothing.

Wasn't there also a referendum on rent control which passed, and shortly after application got taken down by the supreme court? What a fucking joke of a democracy

But what about the lives of the shareholders and their value! What then! pearl-clutch

They can keep living their lives, only that they'll have to work like everyone else. In a way, you could say that they would be FORCED to LABOR ;)
