Jul 3, 2020 at 10:37 comment added Criticizing Israel not allowed @jamesqf well that's why they cap it based on area and location. IIRC it's something like "up to X% more per square metre than the average in the surrounding Y km"
Feb 29, 2020 at 18:26 comment added jamesqf Perhaps you could clarify the logic of imposing a cap on the basis of area? (Since the link is behind an ad block firewall, and I can't turn off my ad blocker because I don't HAVE a #$%! ad blocker.) I'm not familiar with Berlin, but to translate into US terms, there would seem to be little justification for renting say a 5th avenue penthouse for the same price per m^2 as a 5th floor Harlem walkup.

Feb 28, 2020 at 14:45 comment added 264 champagne bottles on ice @puppetsock: I'm simply asking if the was some justification publicly provided. The answer could be "no, they just put that figure into the law without a public discussion/analysis etc."
Feb 28, 2020 at 14:43 comment added puppetsock Questions about "why did x say y" or "why did x do y" are troublesome. They will have a huge dollop of opinion. They involve mind reading. They can involve lies, delusion, and transparent covering up by those involved. And they often involve evidence of the results conflicting with the stated purposes of the actors. And they are quite likely to generate a lot of strong emotional responses. This is a subject that is strong in all of this, as amply demonstrated by the other question you reference.
