This article is about poverty, its relevant for discussion. Refugees get free accommodation, which is pretty expensive in Bavaria.
- bishop74 10y agoMany refugees are also living in fear of arson attacks. I am not sure if that's the type of free accommodation you would opt for.
- spdy 10y agoAnd? Everyone eligible has the same right and will get free accommodation as well. But there is a social criteria rating and a refugee fleeing from war gain the highest grade nothing wrong about this. The failure isnt with the people but the government for not building enough houses ahead of time as they stopped to do so and even sold some of there owning for no real reason. Money is not the problem especially in bavaria. But playing the card that the poor have to fight the poor is pretty stupid.
- MandieD 10y agoThe housing may be free, but much of it is nothing even the poorest Bavarian would want. I volunteered at a converted old Praktiker (big box hardware store that went out of business a few years ago). It was a huge open space that had hanging curtains to make rooms for families. We tried to teach them German, but it was so loud that it was really hard for them (or for us) to hear and concentrate. Gradually, they got moved out to better places, but we've still got a container building of refugee apartments in the town where I work. I'm glad my tax Euros are going towards sheltering them, though. I'm from a very Baptist part of Texas and find it deeply ironic that living in Germany puts me much closer to living in a Christian society than where I grew up.
