We have one of the worst rates of home ownership in DE, compared to the rest of EU:

But that can't be the sole reason, because the home ownership rates are actually better in the east than in the west. Hmm, during the Cold War, the former GDR actually had incredible child care. Even smaller companies were often required to have some sort of Kindergarten and other support for parents. Maybe this is still remembered by today's potential parents, and - like someone said ITT - parents have it hard enough already.

How reliable is this source? Several german newsrooms mentioned are under public law (öffentlich-rechentlich), so I guess this is the real deal?
EDIT: It's a Visegrád based journalist network FWIW.
There is a rather new, more or less scientific-oriented party around in all our EU countries, you might want to look into their platform (VOLT). Not affiliated btw, but they sparked my interest.
