    No they didn't look like #SozialWohnungen (social housing).

    Our city-quarter is more like #EigentumsWohnungen (flats for sale). Really, really expensive ones.

    Besides, we don't need the #Nazis in #Germany to do the most fucked up #HousingPolicy imaginable.

    A very grand Coalition of (almost) all parties in parliament is doing that already.
