With no disrespect to servicemen, just building barracks style accommodation for recruits will go a very long way to help solve some if the housing deficit in the country.

Several European countries have active rent control laws to manage housing affordability, often involving rental increase caps (rent stabilization) or regulated, market-based pricing. Key countries include Germany, France, Ireland, Spain, the Netherlands, Sweden, Denmark, Italy, Belgium, and Switzerland, with many implementing stricter measures recently.

Countries with Active Rent Controls:

Germany: Features the Mietpreisbremse (rent brake) in tight markets, limiting rent increases to 10% above the local reference rent (Mietspiegel).

France: Caps rent increases in "tense" areas (zones d'urbanisation continue) and has experimental stricter controls in cities like Pari
s
Ireland: Restricts rent increases in designated Rent Pressure Zones (RPZs).

Spain: Implements controls that cap annual rent updates, with tighter regulations for large landlords in designated, stressed areas.

Netherlands: Operates a rigorous point system based on property quality to set maximum rent, with further regulations aimed at expanding this to the mid-rental sector.

Sweden: Operates a "negotiation system" where rent is determined by negotiations between landlord associations and the tenants' union, generally ensuring low rent increases.

Denmark: Uses a "cost-calculated" rent system, often restricting rent levels to the cost of maintaining the building rather than market value, particularly for older buildings.

Switzerland: Limits rent increases based on changes in a national reference interest rate, rather than general market fluctuations.

Italy: Requires minimum lease terms (e.g., 4 years) and links annual increases to official national index variations.
Belgium: Regulates rent increases, allowing for indexation but capping excessive raises.

These measures often apply to both existing tenancies (restricting annual increases) and new tenancies (capping the starting rent) to varying degrees depending on local regulations.

Have a hot line where people can call and complain instead of aspiring to have thousands of rent control staff across the country. When people call you react by sending a controller to resolve the issue or forward the case to the police or to the court.
