A Berlin Borough Buying Out Private Landlords
It&#x27;s always interesting to see which parts of our lives are incompatible with free markets (at least for a majority of society). It&#x27;s a very peculiar moral that you mustn&#x27;t evict people from their homes after they&#x27;ve lived in a place for a certain amount of time. It shows that being a renter in a neighbourhood after a while creates some sort of (legally enforceable) kinship that is incompatible with a free market for housing. But I think it&#x27;s very arbitrary that we don&#x27;t have a problem saying to outsiders &quot;we won&#x27;t allow you to live here (even though you&#x27;d be willing to pay a lot for it)&quot; however saying to someone &quot;you can&#x27;t live here anymore (unless you pay more)&quot; is a cardinal sin.
