Bans and subsidies (through government regulation) have never worked in the long term.
The best example was the KfW subsidy for new construction – the idea wasn’t wrong, but the result was massive price increases.
When heating systems were subsidized by 35-50% and order books were full, that was simply added to the price.
Instead of making such professions attractive again and supporting companies and young craftsmen.
30% of heating technicians in Germany will have no one to take over the company in the next few years.
Now we all want the energy transition, but there is neither sufficient material nor skilled workers. It doesn’t matter whether heating, photovoltaics, insulation, etc.

In the past, grain was even airdropped in Africa to alleviate hunger.
Of course, that didn’t work well in the long run.

Now the avalanche of cost explosions is coming toward us, and in the long term, affordable, energy-efficient housing will be lacking.

Regarding costs: my numbers are recalculated as of April 2022 for our two-family house.
The increase in loan costs and building materials would have been +59% in just under 2 years; if I include the lost KfW subsidy, we're at 70%.
Even with a strict budget, that would have only worked with great difficulty.

We have also been looking for a plot of land for a few months now, including applying to all the municipalities in the area. These are only small villages. However, the chances are very slim because we have no children. Recently, we got an offer from the bank at about 2.3 or 2.5%. I think it would have been a €1900 payment. We thought we could still manage up to €2000, although that is quite a lot for our €4600 net income. About €40k equity. We are now 30 years old and 28 years old. Well, today it would probably be around €2500. So the dream is basically dead even if we were to drastically cut costs on the house. So currently no choice but to wait and hope. But the more you read, the bleaker the prospects, and we definitely want a single-family house. If by chance we are next in line for the plot, we would probably have to decline immediately because we would never get a sufficient loan.

There are worse things; many only start building around 40 plus or minus.

The properties

The result of subsidies is best shown by the gas price brake; it does not reach where it is supposed to.

It’s the same with the abolition of the Renewable Energy Act surcharge... Over the weekend, a letter came from the supplier stating that from 01.08 the kWh in basic supply will be about 5 cents more expensive, etc... Probably the abolition of the Renewable Energy Act surcharge is already factored in so that it doesn’t become 8 cents per kWh...

Whoever prefers to take used oil to the recycling center should do so. But always these constraints. I prefer to pour it into the forest.
Are you also in favor of everyone owning weapons?
In case you haven't noticed, you live in many communities: family, work team, state, world.
And all of them demand consideration from you so that coexistence works and also lasts for a long time.
These are not constraints either, but attempts to make life as pleasant as possible for everyone.
But the ego of each individual absolutely does not want to make concessions.
Please show me where in the Basic Law or, if you prefer, in the Bible it says that you may drive as fast as you want. Thank you.
