You’re there not alone. Almost no new buildings are being built in Munich. Everything in the city remembers Munich Olympic Games in 1972. Dozen new buildings build yearly are a shy rounding error compared to the real need. Rent of 3 room apartment crawls to 2000€ monthly. That’s roughly a salary of a cashier in supermarket or car mechanic. Buying is for riches only. Building does not work because of zoning despite having plenty empty land in 50 km radius. Potatoes are more important.

- notch898a 4y agoIt was a joke to illustrate a piece of what's happening.
- ajsnigrutin 4y agoI find it interesting, that both there and here, literally only a few people need to be removed one way or another, and the housing problem will get a lot better. (compared to eg. manhattan or some other locations, where there's literally no more place to build, not even up in some areas)
