It’s affordability stupid. The Berlin election has been decided on the housing question. 85% of households are tenants. The largest share voted for the Left party which means they voted for socialization of large real estate companies. Immigration was the least important issue. https://t.co/rs7vv6X9qv #BerlinElection #HousingCrisis #Socialism #DE
The Left party just won a historic victory in Berlin with 24.5% of votes according to exit polls. Elif Elrap would be the first mayor of Turkish descent in a city that is home to the largest Turkish community outside Turkey. This has been a housing affordability election.

Dane z Politechniki Wiedeńskiej, pokazują skalę rozjazdu między zarobkami a rynkiem mieszkaniowym w Polsce. Badacze z TU Wien przeanalizowali 22 miliony ofert z 30 krajów. Wnioski dla naszego rynku: Polska trafiła do tej samej grupy co Portugalia i Holandia czyli rynków z najgorszą relacją dochodów do cen nieruchomości w Europie. W wielu polskich miastach zakup 25 m² (przy racie równej 1/3 przeciętnej pensji) wymaga kredytu na ponad 30 lat. Ceny ofertowe odjechały lokalnej sile nabywczej znacznie mocniej niż w większości państw zachodnich. Z najmem jest ten sam problem. Wynajem 25-metrowej kawalerki zabiera dziś w Polsce od 33% do ponad 66% średniego wynagrodzenia. Przy takich kosztach bieżących odłożenie 10–20% na wkład własny przy przeciętnych zarobkach graniczy z cudem. Dla szerszego kontekstu z badania: 44% Europejczyków nie ma zdolności na zakup 50 m² na 30 lat, 39% nie jest w stanie wynająć 50 m² bez przekraczania 1/3 dochodu. W Polsce ten problem dotyczy nie 50 m², ale mikrokawalerek. Jeśli przeciętna pensja nie pozwala na samodzielne utrzymanie lub spłatę 25 metrów, kapitał zamiast na konsumpcję czy inwestycje idzie w całości na obsługę dachu nad głową.

It’s affordability, stupid. 89% of voters for the AfD in Saxony-Anhalt say they are worried that prices rise so much that they can’t pay their bills. In fact, food prices are up 34.7% since 2021. Wages are lacking far behind & only rose 14.8%. We need Anti-fascist Economics. https://t.co/5dNXERsFl6 #Affordability #FoodPrices #AntiFascistEconomics #DE
The alternative is an affordability policy that ensures a dignified life for all and combines short time measures with the structural change needed to secure the material basis of our livelihoods and ultimately safeguard democracy. #Affordability #DignifiedLife #SecureDemocracy #Therearenospecificcountrycodesmentionedinthetweet.
A government that works for people not corporations won against big money once more. Congratulations @AngieNixon!! Nixon had $975,000 going into the primary, her opponent Vindman $16.3m. The winning formula: Affordability, good jobs & making billionaires pay. It’s unstoppable. https://t.co/QiUhzWNADy #GovernmentForThePeople #CampaignFinance #AffordableLiving #Therearenospecificcountriesmentionedinthetweet.Thus #therearenocountrycodestoreturn.
The $20 burrito question is a crossroads. Democratic path: address the affordability crisis, end the war & deliver an economy that works for all. Authoritarian path: downplay material grievances, mobilize through culture war and resentment, & rely on intimidation and coercion. https://t.co/6WwJANZZQw #AffordabilityCrisis #EconomyForAll #CultureWar #Nospecificcountrycodescanbeidentifiedfromthetweet.

And above it all: dignity. Bread — and roses too. These candidates aren't promising bare survival through the next crisis. They're promising an economy where everyone can live. That's why "affordability" is resonating with people where "the economy is fine" does not. 9/ #DignityForAll #Affordability #EconomicJustice #Thetweetdoesnotmentionanyspecificcountries.Therefore #therearenocountrycodestoreturn.

The answer is in the image too: a grain only grows in a climate that allows it — and in a field no war has burned. Protecting the essentials of life means protecting the conditions of life: a stable climate, and peace. That's why greening the economy IS affordability policy. 4/ #ClimateAction #PeaceForLife #SustainableEconomy #Nospecificcountrycodesarementionedinthetweet.
