Dear Berliners,<br />
Berlin is becoming ever more interesting in its role as the German<br />
capital <strong>and</strong> as a prime location for culture, education,<br />
science <strong>and</strong> research. People from all over the world visit our<br />
city as tourists, stop here for a longer sojourn or decide to<br />
stay here permanently. This is a great enrichment for our city<br />
life. It creates jobs, strengthens our future prospects <strong>and</strong> allows<br />
our city to grow.<br />
However, these manifold opportunities are accompanied by<br />
certain side effects, primarily affecting the housing <strong>and</strong> real<br />
estate market. Growth makes prices rise. Rents in our city are<br />
still far from those charged in other German cities or European<br />
metropolises. Yet still the currently occurring price increases,<br />
to be observed with rental contracts for new property<br />
in particular, are a cause for concern. They cause a<br />
decrease in the supply of inexpensive rental dwellings, upon<br />
which those households in particular are dependent which<br />
due to their personal or family situation cannot currently<br />
profit from the opportunities offered by our city’s growth.<br />
These rent increases limit the choice for “starting households“<br />
which are still in a phase of education, career entry or<br />
starting a family.
