The root of all evil
Background
The Swedish system built and managed by the social democratic party over the almost 100 years they have ruled » takes aim in the right to private property.
This needs some explanation of the Swedish law, and all other ways the right to property is handled in Sweden. To build on or develop any private owned piece of land in Sweden is impossible. The municipality has the upper hand and decide every 20 or so years where and what kind of property to be developed. This since Sweden is such a densely populated country!!!!
However, the consequence of this old system maintained by Swedish law is that the rent for a 3-room apartment in the centre of Stockholm is the same as in the famous no go zones of Malmoe.
In addition, the specific law originally protecting Swedish shorelines from property development, in order for people to reach the beach for swimming, was enhanced to in addition protect the beach for all other spices and vegetation populating the shoreline, now or possibly in the future. Together with the original wording in the law, coast, lakes or water course the law has been enhanced to be preventing in principle the entire Swedish landmass. Pouring water somewhere after a rainfall are considered protected, preventing any building activities 100 meter on each side. This has recently been enhanced to 300 meters, to prevent any building activity 600 meter around a water stream with the width of 10 cm.
Most of the building mass in Sweden is owned by either the municipalities, or by associations with strong connection to the social democratic party or the union (the same entity).
All tenants renting an apartment is protected by the tenant’s association which is mainly controlled by social democratic party. The landlord does not have the right to increase the rent outside the yearly decided window, normally parts of one percent. This due to an ideologic formula based on a utility quote totally disconnected from the location. All new developments must be squeezed into this prising scheme based on the price level of existing apartments owned by the municipality, actually subsided by tax money.
Consequence
However, the consequence of this old system maintained by Swedish law is that the rent for a 3-room apartment in the centre of Stockholm is the same as in the famous no go zones of Malmoe.
Since the land and development cost of new dwellings has increased after the city centres was built, there are no way to get the ends to meet in a new dwelling project. This gives an awful situation with lack of apartments in one of the most scattered populated country in the world.
The crux is how to invent the laws, to be able to navigate the subsidies only to the ideologically correctly framed entrepreneurs is now a problem since the social democratic party is ruling in minority.
The solution by the socialistic social democratic party is to provide founding for new dwelling projects with tax money. The crux is how to invent the laws, to be able to navigate the subsidies only to the ideologically correctly framed entrepreneurs is now a problem since the social democratic party is ruling in minority.
The Swedish law is mainly a hodgepodge with the aim of guarantee the power of the social democratic party officially based on the ideologic grounds of equality in other words communism. This specifically in the laws concerning private property. Sweden has an entire system built around private property which is so complex that no one can got the overview to understand that there is actually no right of private property. Property in Sweden can be bought, owned, and sold and that is it. To develop any privately owned property, the owner must have very good connections in the social democratic party. All thinkable matters can be taken into consideration to prevent an owner of land to do anything than just own or sell.
