There has been quite a lot of advocacy for a public housing model a la Vienna and better legal framework here in Spain.
For some reason it just get dismissed in the left, as too expensive, and always gets overshadowed by arguments about price control.
I even tried to get into a local party with this, and failed.
All this while they advocate for increasing spending in all kinds of BS and and programs we already know are basically useless.

- llampx 5y agoVienna keeps getting brought up in threads like this, but one fact is that the demand and supply is not completely off-kilter there like in some (many?) other European cities. Anywhere in Sweden, for example has a ton of public housing but a decades-long wait to get it.
- spaniard89277 5y agoIn General it seems that Vienna uses both private and public developments. Public for cooling down the market, private for faster adjustment of demand and luxury property. In Sweden they may just suffer from NIMBY syndrome or "building is capitalist speculation!" type of stupidity.
