Why don't construction prices go down?

That is well documented and has little to do with faith.

Sort of. Evidence like that from Oxfam or the taz refers to truly wealthy people and not to the middle class or upper middle class.

German average CO2 emissions in 2020 were 7.26 tons of CO2/year. The poorer half of the population recorded 5.4 tons in 2019, which is only 75% of the average. You can google all of this. The richest one percent caused over 80 tons of CO2 per capita per year in 2019, by the way.

There is also evidence of better quality.
Land consumption, smaller or no car, no new construction, no or smaller vacations guaranteed flight-free, no job with foreign components. In reality, income and ecological footprint are somewhat correlated.
My grandparents, with one trip to the Mosel region per year in their old 50sqm apartment, were de facto much more ecologically sustainable than we are in the new, larger, much better insulated house.

Ok - convinced. : you can also accept facts sometimes.

I find the spread interesting and the division into consumption and investment in production capital among the "rich."

With 23 figures, the difference between poor and middle class is not that big. From upper class on, it really takes off.

Alright, but what is "middle class"? The lower 50%, as mentioned, 5.4 tons. A good part of the middle class is included in that. Mr. Merz sees himself as an income millionaire and owner of a private jet and still as part of the middle class.

By the way, this is also a huge part of the current problem. The classic enemy image of the "Green," who drives around with an electric car, lives in a KfW40 new building with a heat pump, and then flies to Bali or New Zealand for vacation because he thinks he can afford it, after all, he saves a lot of CO2 through heating and driving... And of course tells everyone about it. How can you heat with oil? That's why the polar bears are dying...

But the KfW40 new building has to amortize itself compared to the multi-family house from the 1920s first, in terms of CO2... This also applies to electric cars compared to a 25-year-old Golf IV. My ID.4 has to last 25 years first; I honestly don't believe it can...
