“That’s why we can’t continue like this with single-family homes”
Should the Germans’ favorite house shape no longer exist?
The Hamburg Greens have decided not to include single-family homes in the new development plans. This rule could become the national standard. So will the Germans’ favorite house shape soon cease to exist?
Over the weekend, the Greens rejected accusations that they wanted to ban the construction of single-family homes across the board. Now Linke’s boss, Bernd Riexinger, joins the debate and calls for a rethink.
LInke chief Bernd Riexinger has called for the construction of single-family homes to be rethought. “We must reduce the consumption of land, for social reasons and for reasons of climate protection,” he told the Germany publishing network.
“That is why we cannot continue with single-family homes as we have done before. Instead, we should focus on cities and build plots in such a way that more apartments come out, especially more affordable apartments. “
Over the weekend, the Greens rejected accusations that they wanted to ban the construction of single-family homes across the board. “The allegations are wrong,” a spokesman for the group said Sunday.
“For many people, their own four walls are important, this includes a single family home. That will also be the case in the future, like townhouses, apartment buildings, apartment buildings. ” The municipalities decided what would be built and where. This also takes into account how much space there is and how many vacancies there are, according to the Verdes spokesman.
The leader of the faction, Anton Hofreiter, was exaggerated after an interview with the “Spiegel”, the spokesman also wrote on Twitter. In the interview, Hofreiter was asked about a decision by a Hamburg district office that had not included single-family homes in development plans.
He commented on this decision with the “dramatic housing shortage” in the area. The district decided to create a living space for the many rather than the few. At the same time, Hofreiter made it clear: “Of course the Greens don’t want to ban their own four walls.”
