In order to create living space, the Ampelkoalition relies primarily on new construction - but the goal of 400,000 newly built apartments per year would correspond to an increase in greenhouse gases by eight million to twenty-five million tons of CO2. We should therefore create more apartments through conversion, as well as without building: there is already living space that we just have to find. Social programs for owners primarily help older people who live alone in the house and, as a „side effect“, create space for those who urgently need housing. This is how living space is created without harming the climate, and on top of that, finding living space means connecting people.
