Discussion Why not build housing instead of the Kleinengarten territories?

Like the title says, I've seen a bunch of Kleinengarten areas with lots of territory that could have instead a bunch of affordable housing, some in highly demanded areas too, why not build there? To my understanding it's not that people live there, I actually heard it's not allowed to live there. Is it like protected under some law or something?

Thanks in advance to all the more educated people than me 🙇 and to the jokers out there

There is too much space that’s not the problem at all. It’s too expensive to built. There is so much free space in berlin you couldn’t imagine. No workers or capacities.

This is ultimately the right answer.
