Construction costs are currently skyrocketing

I did not write anything about that either. Because massive for me means already in the high double-digit percentage range and I do not see that either. The opposite could rather be the case. Namely, that the energy-efficient houses even gain value while the 40 years + houses with poor insulation and gas/oil have surely passed their peak in terms of price and this then balances out in price stability.

I didn’t say that either. Because massive means for me already in the high double-digit percentage range and I don’t see that either. The opposite could rather be the case.

well. The 40+ year old houses are often more centrally located in the towns and not somewhere in an exile new-build settlement without infrastructure nearby. That balances out, since the development is also becoming more expensive and with the current politics we are rather heading towards renovation, which I by the way find very right

I also rather don't believe that old buildings lose value. At least not those that have already been renovated. Because such houses are already built and available. Whereas with new buildings, one can never really know currently if and at what prices and with what delivery times materials can be obtained. Huge unrenovated houses with pure gas heating, I could imagine, might no longer fetch sky-high prices but realistic prices.

A neighbor wanted to have walls built with red stones(?), which are apparently currently not available. The mason has canceled the contract with the house construction company, and the house construction is now at a standstill. :/

I’d say, I would also much prefer there to be a conservative fresh new party without Höcke and his cronies. But the CDU has also drifted to the left and has completely unacceptable people like Hendrik Wüst or Röttgen.

I don’t know what you always expect from conservative parties. We have seen for 16 years how many developments were either ignored or deliberately destroyed by conservative parties.

What I wish for is a modern party that tackles the problems of the present and future without dragging behind it a whole bunch of old men who, due to their upbringing and personal life history, don’t even perceive these problems as such and even if they do, offer no solutions for them.

I see, among others, the following problems:
- Energy prices
- Climate change
- Skilled labor shortage
- Housing shortage
- Defective transport infrastructure
- Catastrophic expansion of communication infrastructure
- Problems reconciling work and family life
- Missing digitalization
- Opaque tax system

Which of these issues do you want to solve with conservative parties and conservative methods? These are almost all topics that don’t exist in the reality of these people’s lives and therefore are not addressed.

No no. What’s needed is a young dynamic team that is not stuck in lobby and party swamp and that doesn’t mess around with outdated phrases, methods, and sleight-of-hand tricks like fuel rebates. Just consider the transport minister’s concept for CO2 reduction. Anyone who until now thought that Andi Scheuer was a zero will be surprised.

Hubertus Heil wanted to reintroduce a home office mandate starting in October to ease the pandemic situation. Nice side effect: many employees would have been immediately relieved because they would save on fuel. Nice nice side effects: CO2 would have been saved and overall energy, which is currently so scarce that we’re supposed to wash with a washcloth.

And how do the mostly conservative parties decide? Bam: rejected, because although it would actually have helped, they’re afraid of the complainers who can’t do home office and therefore complain. No matter how much energy is saved, the fear of breaking habitual patterns has prevailed.

And that’s why we don’t need a new or additional conservative party, but a modern one that lives in the here and now and also offers modern solutions for modern problems.

And politicians who do the job full-time and have no side jobs and additional income.
