I'd be cautious. I guess neither of us has concrete numbers but "Enteignung" means forcing someone to sell. This also means Berlin would buy the real estate at a mark up to make up for the forcing.

Now Berlin is in debt and buys real estate for their voters. In the framework of Länderfinanzausgleich basically bavaria is paying a portion of that. Have you looked at Munichs rent? Also why should person A live in what is basically a subsidized flat and person B not.

Furthermore the real estate in question is older pre heatpump era. Now Berlin wants to buy condos that need expensive repair at a mark up? Sounds like a great deal for vonovia.

Finally politics flip flop. Next gov wants to sell these expensive bought condos to the private companies again at a loss. Done so in Leipzig i think.

It's a good idea to make a law against state buys expensive flats and sells them cheap. It also reeks of corruption. But i agree, the other way would be better: dont allow the state to sell assets that are meant for allgemeinwohl.
