Rights violation: Berlin’s commie-grassroots plan to renationalise up to 200,000 ex-council homes from corporate landlords

In major cities throughout the world, the price of housing is on the rise: in 2017 alone, prices leaped by 20.5 per cent in Berlin, 16 per cent in Vancouver and 14.8 per cent in Hong Kong. As rents keep going up, activists in Berlin are spearheading a novel proposal to nationalise housing. Such response might sound quixotic in cities such as London, but 54.9 per cent of Berliners consider it reasonable. And instead of waiting for the government to act, citizens have taken matters into their own hands.
