It is more extreme in Berlin, but I think in general the spread between new rent and old rent is very high.

I.e. in Munich, the average rent per square meter is about 10€, while the average for new offers is almost 17€.

This is a problem because nobody is moving out of their places, so people get stuck in the wrong flat. Old people won't leave their too big places after their kids left, young people with kids live in places that are to small.

(No shade thrown at the old people, I'd also not want to leave the place I lived in for so long. But on a bigger scale, it's an issue.)
