A 22-year-old German politician who secretly served in Ukraine’s army now faces expulsion from the pro-Russian Alternative for Germany party after calling his own leadership “Russia-kissers.”
Expensive housing is caused by zoning laws. It is intentional, just not organised by foreigners and lazy people.
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.
