Woningnood? Hier staan 90.000 huizen leeg

Pointer – Season 12

How is it possible that during this housing shortage, tens of thousands of buildings remain vacant and dilapidated for extended periods? Pointer takes a bizarre tour of empty churches, offices, shopping streets, and homes, some of which have been vacant for over twenty years. Frustrated property owners explain how rigid regulations have led us to this impasse. But the government is blaming the owners and wants fines for vacant buildings. Will that help? Or would we benefit more from the new generation of squatters? Or from 84-year-old Grandpa Kees from Gouda, who is converting empty buildings into homes himself. Will he help us out of this predicament?
