Berlin's Die Linke wins state election, plans expropriation of 240,000 homes

Die Linke won the Berlin state election and seeks a coalition with Greens and SPD. Their flagship policy is expropriating large landlords (3,000+ units) to place 240,000 homes under city control, aiming for 30% of the rental market and rent freeze. This marks a significant leftward shift in Berlin's housing policy, though coalition negotiations and legal hurdles remain.
