The Berlin Trilogy: Expropriation!
Manage episode 431539586 series 2619686
The housing crisis is the definitive social issue of our time, affecting almost everybody across the West in varied and horrifying ways. But how do we go about. solving it?
One seemingly novel idea has been put forward by housing activists in Berlin: simply take properties out of the hands of the massive landlords and place them back under tenant control. In this, the first in our mini-series of episodes recorded live from Matt’s bedroom in Berlin, Matt and Helen speak to Danielle of Right 2 The City / 'Deutsche Wohnen & Co. enteignen' about the 2021 referendum on the expropriation of over 200,000 properties in Germany’s capital. What’s the thinking behind this move? What has happened since? And can we learn anything from this mass movement that we can apply to the situation in Ireland?
