Scholz also calls for a change of heart in the construction industry. “Construction companies should be prepared to plan more apartments that are not designed to be rented for 18 euros per square meter or sold for more than 10,000 euros per square meter, but are aimed at the majority of citizens.” , said the Social Democrat. “Something went wrong in Germany for decades.” Scholz also renewed the previously unfulfilled promise of the traffic light coalition in the federal government to build 400,000 new apartments every year. The money for more social housing is available.
