The construction crisis is putting a strain on the economy – but the traffic lights cannot agree on measures. The revival of this industry, which is so central to Germany, should be a political priority.

If construction projects are allowed to ignore central aspects of the building code, the government's current plans would do little to do more to build apartments.
