Construction costs are currently skyrocketing

... such small details apparently are no longer taught in political science studies, how can that be?

It will probably be just the same as with other ministerial offices. In other words, where a foreign minister never has to have heard of diplomacy, a defense minister does not need military knowledge and expertise, and so on and so forth..... Sad but true.

Yes, for the bathroom cabinet I did that with a laminate offcut. For the kitchen I was too lazy. Because of the cassettes I would have to saw a very narrow piece and I thought it would work like this too. We'll see, at the moment I'm finishing two cabinets every weekend (three handles per cabinet). Maybe I will manage it on the first try by the last one. :D

The youth of today loves luxury, has bad manners, and despises authority. They contradict their parents, cross their legs, and tyrannize their teachers.

And who is it again that raises the next generation? Hm… :D Bullseye…

It’s not just a problem with politicians. People constantly show up here who later want to share their house and are told for the first time that it’s not that simple and especially not without making many compromises now. As the responsible minister, one should really deal with the topic... I consider the idea of the jack-of-all-trades house to be a dead end anyway. It would be much more important to reduce the 10-12% incidental purchase costs so that moving to a new house is actually affordable. And also to create attractive offers with gardens, etc. for older people instead of just apartments with a tiny balcony.

Would anyone like to have such a hearty laugh again? Here about our Federal Minister of Construction:

In view of the challenges posed by climate change, Geywitz also brought up, alongside the promotion of energy-efficient building and renovation, the necessity of flexible, changeable living space.

“For example, one can build houses from the start with the possibility of separation, so that in the case where the children move out, one half is lived in and the other rented out,” said the Minister.

So fire protection, sound insulation, heat meters, a second bathroom, second kitchen, second entrance and separate staircase as well as a second terrace or balcony should be planned right from the start so that Ms. Geywitz does not lose face due to the declining completion numbers ;) . Oh yes, please don’t forget the additionally required parking spaces and the floor space index — apparently such small details are no longer taught in political science studies, how can that be?

If your quote is correct, then it says "...can," not MUST. What is so wrong about this way of thinking that a dispute about the politicians’ qualifications has to be started here? Whoever has the money for this long-term way of thinking might later be at an advantage because he/she actually has an alternative to possible renting or even selling. At the latest when the children have left the house, some homeowners wish for a change in their living situation (e.g. through smaller living space).

I think the idea of the egg-laying wool-milk-sow is misguided anyway. Much more important would be to reduce the 10-12% ancillary purchase costs so that moving house is actually affordable. And also to create attractive offers for older people with gardens, etc., instead of just apartments with mini balconies

But then we would really be working on a problem and not just superficially on our attitude toward a problem. And the states would lack money, which can no longer be wasted, uh, spent elsewhere. And who thinks only of the poor children, uh, notaries and brokers.. ;)
