Germany Confiscating Homes to Use for Migrants
"A massive attack on the property rights"

    In an unprecedented move, Hamburg authorities confiscated six residential units in the Hamm district near the city center. A trustee appointed by the city is now renovating the properties and will rent them — against the will of the owner — to tenants chosen by the city. District spokeswoman Sorina Weiland said that all renovation costs will be billed to the owner of the properties.

    Similar expropriation measures have been proposed in Berlin, the German capital, but abandoned because they were deemed unconstitutional.

    Some Germans are asking what is next: Will authorities now limit the maximum amount of living space per person, and force those with large apartments to share them with strangers?

Authorities in Hamburg, the second-largest city in Germany, have begun confiscating private dwellings to ease a housing shortage — one that has been acutely exacerbated by Chancellor Angela Merkel's decision to allow more than two million migrants into the country in recent years.

Posted in other places. I'm not always so sure about stories like this. Everyone can make their own judgements.

Germany is and always will be a Socialist garbage can.

My instinct wants me to question this source, which is highly biased against muslim migrants.

Hope this isn't happening. If it is, I hope voters throw Merkel out.

I seem to recall the German government doing this once before in the distant past .... forcing one segment of German citizens out of their homes to give to another segment of German citizens.    Hmmm..... did they learn nothing from that sordid bit of German history?  Apparently not.

This is nothing new.   The German PTBs have been doing this for a while now. 

I suppose that the only Schadenfreude is when one of the pro-Muslim-immigration idiots gets kicked out to make room for more Muslim immigrants.... like in this vid from 2015.

What would you do if this was happening here to a property you owned?

I doubt this is true or we'd see news reports of Hamburg burning.
