They pledge to work towards preventing drastic rent increases and commend Schwabe for his efforts in these trying times. They also highlight the challenges faced by the private housing industry due to government regulations and the need for a more effective priority system. They express hope that controls can be removed in the future to stimulate building material production.</dc:description></oai_dc:dc>
