There is something called in Austria called "Freunderlwirtschaft". Its Austrian for "corruption but everybody is doing it so it is ok".
These "Gemeindebauten" (affordable cheap public housing) have good flats and good areas and bad flats and bad areas. So if you want to be in the really good ones, you better have the right "Parteibuch" (party affiliation) or a friend who has it.
Said that, Gemeindebauten are a great but flawed system.
- franze 6y agoI think a much better effect has the "Altbaumiete" (old pre world-war-II housing) which are rent controlled. Kinda great living, slightly windy and sometimes smelly and there may be lead in the pipes, but at least affordable.
