Berliners vote to expropriate corporate landlord apartments
By EUobserver
Berliners voted in favour of expropriating apartments owned by big real-estate companies, with 56 percent of voters in the German capital saying 'yes' in the non-binding referendum at this weekend, the Financial Times reported on Monday. Now Berlin's new municipal government has to decide how to proceed, since the expropriation of housing units could be legally challenged as against the German constitution.
