Construction costs are currently skyrocketing

Yep. If you can't afford bread, you just have to eat cake.

I checked once. It costs about 800 EUR/m² in Münster. So for 600m², 480,000 EUR. Then add a house on top, you're close to a million. At 4% interest...

None of you could afford that either ;)

Therefore, it makes sense to promote semi-detached and terraced houses in these locations. So that people have a chance who would otherwise have to keep living in rental housing...

And this nonsense about the single-family house as a green island... when I look around here in the new development area, I see: fully paved front yards and in the garden, an ecologically pointless English lawn that is kept green in summer with loads of water... and a lonely little tree in the farthest corner...

I heard a report about this yesterday. Among other things, settlement structures are to be created that are based on the garden cities. This can be a good concept especially for young families and elderly people.

Yep. Whoever can’t afford bread has to eat cake. I took a look. It costs around 800 EUR/m² in Münster. So for 600m², 480,000 EUR. Then you add a house on top, you're at just under a million.

So that people have a chance who would otherwise have to keep renting... And that nonsense about detached houses as green islands... when I look around here in the new development area, I see: Fully paved front yards and, in the garden, ecologically useless English lawns that are kept green in summer with huge amounts of water... and a lonely little tree in the very back corner...

Where do you get that knowledge from? By the way, I find the BRW in Münster pretty cheap.

That’s why building areas are popping up outside of Münster (Everswinkel, Telgte, Havixbeck, etc.) – all the way to Warendorf/Greven and even Dülmen (Münster is very well connected). In recent years, you could buy plots starting from 150 EUR/m² there and be in Münster within 20 minutes.

Thanks to the A1, it’s very easy to get as far as Tecklenburg. etc. There, thanks to public transport, a car isn’t the only option. And Hamm -> Münster is 30 minutes by train (but you are from that area anyway).

And when I look at something cute like Rinkerode or Drensteinfurt: you are in Münster city center within 10/15 minutes. You also have relatively long train/bus connections on weekends & a land value that is really relaxed.

Are you orienting yourself on BORIS? Because then I see BRWs in Münster city in the Kreuzviertel starting at €2,500 and up.

I heard a report about this yesterday. Among other things, settlement structures are supposed to be created that are based on garden cities. This can be a good concept especially for young families and older people.

Garden cities of the past were spacious – here the densities of the Berlin tenement buildings of the past are being dreamed of. With a whole lot of active / activist neighborhood. This is quite typical for city councils full of students and retirees. They want the maximum of everything (even with mutually exclusive goals) and are surprised in the end by the costs and the fiasco. Because the main problem is precisely the adherence to the idiotic goal of "land conservation" for at least 10 years, which is carried around like a monstrance. And then suddenly there are several hundred thousand apartments missing. The issue should be incorporation &/ large-scale + overarching urban development.
