Condensed but correct

Elections in 218 days. The housing shortage appears to have become a campaign issue. In the last week alone, 367 articles have been published.

One term comes up again and again: compression. If we move closer to each other, there will be more space for everyone. This time, the bourgeoisie and the left surprisingly agree on this.

ETH is currently playing in Party Crasher. In a new study, researchers show that densification is driving people out in the canton of Zurich. The poor, foreigners and single parents have to leave, new tenants earn an average of 3,500 francs more. The numbers are explosive. Economy Minister Guy Parmelin invited to the round table on 12 May. The promotion of affordable housing is part of the constitution. If the densification panacea is to be used, there is only one sensible way: the federal government must take accompanying measures to ensure gentrification is under control. The free market cannot solve the housing shortage. The ETH study clearly demonstrates this.

So build what? Housing that puts the needs of the community ahead of the needs of investors: more innovative floor plans at affordable prices. This is only possible if there is more non-profit housing available. However, as long as suitable lots are sold to the highest bidder, non-profit developers will get nothing. If Parmelin is serious, he should be campaigning for the right to buy cooperatives first.
