Approaches to solving the housing crisis in Bad Endorf

According to a report by www.focus.de,

The Bavarian community of Bad Endorf suffers from an acute shortage of affordable housing, which affects both locals and refugees. At the same time, some apartments in the community remain empty as owners prefer to leave them unused rather than rent them out. Various possible solutions were then discussed at a meeting of the market town council, including the possibility of compulsory renting and increasing the second home tax.

The asylum officer Alois Kurfer expressed his lack of understanding of the property owners and emphasized that a rented apartment would only bring advantages. Money would come in, the property would be heated and therefore protected from mold or decay. In addition, the need for living space among both locals and asylum seekers is enormous. Without sufficient living space, reasonable integration is not possible.

These measures could help reduce vacancies in Bad Endorf and alleviate the housing shortage for refugees and locals. The discussion shows that the community is actively looking for solutions to counteract the acute housing shortage.

As an expert in the real estate market, it is obvious that the lack of affordable housing in Bad Endorf is causing serious problems. The discussion about compulsory rentals and increasing the second home tax shows that policymakers are willing to take drastic measures to address the problem. If these measures are implemented, it could lead to a reduction in vacancies while at the same time improving the integration of refugees and the living conditions of locals. This could also impact property prices in the community as demand for rentable housing would increase. In any case, the situation in Bad Endorf shows the urgency of ensuring affordable housing for all population groups.
