have 2.25 million population before WW1 and then decline in population for almost 100 years? They still haven't recovered (1.89m). It may be an enormous mistake to read into their allocation policy because they've simply had a very easy time allocating so far.
St Louis population has declined for 70 years. It is very affordable. It's just not hard to accomplish affordability like that.
- spaniard89277 4y agoVienna suffered and suffers housing price inflation like any other european city. In world wars not only people dies, but housing units are destroyed too. Also, the point of the social housing in vienna is not only the dimension of it, but how they do it. The design, the demographics, etc. There's a clear distinction between their program and the myriad of commieblocks in other countries that become low-income guettos to sink public money. Public housing done right is more than just building dense, putting poor people in it and be done with it. That's a recipe for disaster.
