Crisis situation in Vienna: Community buildings threaten to decay!

Wien, Österreich - The current state of the municipal buildings in Vienna is strongly criticized. According to a report by the Kleine Zeitung , numerous buildings in the city are in danger of collapsing. The lack of maintenance leads to serious problems, including water damage that promotes mold, and broken windows that make a decent life impossible.

criticism and demands

Wiener Mayor Ludwig is also faced with the criticism that rents in recent years have increased several times. The FPÖ is now calling for a comprehensive expansion of the municipal buildings and an adaptation to the housing associations. One proposal includes residential assistance to citizenship, so that funded apartments are only to be awarded to Austrian citizens and demonstrably integrated.

Michael Oberlechner, the Federal Spokesman for the FPÖ, is criticizing in the social building AG. Under the former general director Josef Ostermayer (SPÖ), assessment losses of up to 70 million euros are said to have been created, which instead could have been used for the financing of 1,500 new social housing. Oberlechner describes social housing as “completely out of control” and criticizes the silence of the ÖVP and the NEOS on these grievances.

All subsidized residential projects must meet strict quality requirements as well as the social aspects of housing.

Currently almost half of the subsidized apartments are built as particularly cheap smart apartments. As part of the forward -looking planning and efficient use of funding, Vienna has established itself as a leader in social housing, whereby the renovation and modernization of existing stocks are also part of the concept.

comparable maximum limits also apply to subsidized condominiums. These strict regulations are intended to ensure that access to social living space in Vienna remains just and sustainable.
