      Sigh. The housing shortage is due to not building enough affordable housing due to lack of political will and nimbyism. The number of “luxury” apartments is minuscule next to the rest of the housing stock.

      For the huge amount of tax revenue that “gentrifies” are contributing you’d think the city and the Kanton could pull their finger out and actually try to solve this problem.

      city-wide averages of CHF1,787 for a four-room apartment and CHF1,470 for a three-room apartment. 

      This number are crazy, now for that amount you cannot even find a studio on the market, but it is crazy that is s the city-wide average due to people that are there since decades and you cannot increse them the rent. Probably they not even need anymore 4 rooms has the kind grow up and not anymore in the house, but you would bit out of your mind to leave the appartment on that price. The rent controls law are super distortive of the rent market and push landlord to rent has high at possible the new apartment becouse once set are stuck with that price.  We should build more but also fix this distortive price fixing that is completely fucking up the demend and increase even further pricing
