En verano 2019 y máximos históricos
La misión casi imposible de pinchar la burbuja del alquiler en EspañaBerlín es la última gran capital europea en introducir un tope al precio de la vivienda de alquiler. Hasta doce países tienen alguna regulación en este sentido. En España, las administraciones públicas se mueven entre la necesidad de afrontar un problema que va a más y la inacción.España no es ajena a este fenómeno, de hecho aquí adquiere tintes dramáticos. Pero mientras en otros países se intenta limitar el precio del alquiler con iniciativas audaces, en España, salvo alguna tímida excepción, casi nadie se atreve a dar un paso adelante.El panorama en España es sombrío, incluso más que en otros países, pero aquí hablar de limitar los precios del alquiler es mentar a la bicha. Quien lo intenta recibe críticas y no sólo de una derecha que ve la mano de la izquierda más radical detrás de este tipo de propuestas, sino de instituciones oficiales como el propio Banco de España, que argumenta que limitar el precio de los alquileres conduciría a una reducción de la oferta y podría favorecer un deterioro importante de los inmuebles. Pero lo que de verdad se deteriora es la vida de millones de personas. "¿Qué ocurre en España? Desde luego falta no sólo voluntad política, pero también mayor sensibilidad por parte de las administraciones públicas, que se mueven entre la necesidad de actuar de forma más contundente y la dejadez. Sirva un ejemplo: mientras que en Viena se cuida hasta el extremo la vivienda social, en Madrid el Ayuntamiento vendió en 2011 miles de viviendas públicas a un fondo buitre, alimentando así la especulación y el alza de los precios."Sin embargo, sí es posible regular el precio del alquiler. El caso de Berlín es el último, pero no es el único. Portugal, Italia, Francia, Irlanda, Escocia, Alemania, Austria, Holanda, Dinamarca, República Checa, Canadá y Estados Unidos son países que tienen alguna regulación del alquiler. Y el mundo no ha hundido.Sin ir muy lejos, la semana pasada el Senado del Estado de Nueva York (Estados Unidos) aprobó una ley que regula los alquileres de inmuebles para combatir el alza de los precios y "proteger a los inquilinos" de desplazamientos y desahucios en una de las ciudades más caras del mundo, pero también en todo el estado.El paquete de medidas era reclamado desde hacía años por varios colectivos de inquilinos. El alcalde de Nueva York afirmó tras la aprobación de la ley que se había "escuchado la llamada de atención". "Las reformas implican que podemos realmente aumentar el número de apartamentos que los neoyorquinos podrán permitirse", añadió.Pero el ejemplo más paradigmático es el de Viena, "la capital con las casas más asequibles". Allí la política de vivienda es una cuestión de estado. El 60% de los vieneses reside en una vivienda de propiedad pública, En Viena, una vivienda social no puede costar más de 3.317 euros al año a una persona o 6.245 euros a una familia de cuatro miembros. https://www.publico.es/economia/vivienda-limitar-precios-alquiler-vivienda.html
$12 trillion of negative-yielding bonds are sending a clear message of distressAlmost $12 trillion of investment grade corporate and government bonds have negative yields, predominately in Europe and Japan, according to Barclays data, the Financial Times reports. That’s the largest amount since the middle of 2016 when the UK voted to leave the European Union and the Bank of England restarted its bond-buying program, known as quantitative easing (QE), in response.Today, half of all European government bonds have a negative yield, with the total amount outstanding at €4.4 trillion ($5 trillion), compared to €3.3 trillion at the end of January, according to data from Tradeweb. At the end of May, 20% of European investment-grade corporate debt had negative yields.

Pues agárrense los machos porque Google ha decidido dar el paso e "himbertir" en el ladrillo...CitarGoogle reveals plans to build 20,000 Bay Area homesThey'll include at least 5,000 affordable housing units.Kris Holt, @krisholt 2 hours ago in BusinessGoogle says it'll invest in thousands of new homes in the Bay Area over the next decade, in the hopes of helping many of its employees and other residents find an affordable place to live in one of the planet's most expensive regions. CEO Sundar Pichai wrote in a blog post that Google plans to repurpose at least $750 million worth of land it owns for residential housing. Through this, the company hopes to "support the development of at least 15,000 new homes at all income levels in the Bay Area, including housing options for middle and low-income families."Additionally, Google is setting up a $250 million investment fund for developers to build more than 5,000 affordable housing units in the area. It also plans to give $50 million to nonprofits focused on homelessness and displacement."Across the region, one issue stands out as particularly urgent and complex: housing," Pichai wrote. "The lack of new supply, combined with the rising cost of living, has resulted in a severe shortage of affordable housing options for long-time middle and low-income residents."https://twitter.com/sundarpichai/status/1141013265658441729Google aims to work with local authorities to cut through red tape and clear a path for developers to build homes as soon as possible. Pichai says the company has already successfully convinced its home city of Mountain View to change the zoning on some land to allow housing development, and it's working with Sunnyvale and San Jose (where it's expanding) to free up land for homes.The lack of available, affordable housing is a real concern in the Bay Area. Pichai notes that last year, developers built only 3,000 new homes in the South Bay. Google is one of the biggest employers in the region and, naturally, everyone working for it needs a place to live relatively close by.News of the investment arrives a day ahead of a shareholders meeting at Google's parent company Alphabet. Several protests are planned for the meeting, including from those concerned about Google's impact on the San Jose real estate market. The investment also follows Mountain View legislators voting in March to ban people from parking RVs in the city overnight. Thousands of people reportedly live in RVs across the Bay Area because they can't afford to rent or buy a home.Saludos.
