It’s worth noting that a major confounding factor is that, unlike most cities with a housing crisis, Vienna is well below its population peak and so does not need to build nearly as much housing
- ginko 7mo agoDuring that peak Vienna’s housing situation was infamously bad though. You’d have single rooms shared by multiple families and beds being used by multiple people on a timetable.
- bobthepanda 7mo agoWhat city wasn’t that true of? Most cities with a housing crisis like New York had population growth on top of that, so Vienna just hasn’t had to walk and chew gum in that sense.

Population is about the same as at its peak and density (person/m2) was about four times that of today. https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schlafg%C3%A4nger https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schlafg%C3%A4nger https://www.demokratiezentrum.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/10/eigner_wohnbau.pdf https://www.demokratiezentrum.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/10...
