Construction costs are currently skyrocketing

I'm curious, doesn't sound wrong, but we probably can't hope for really lower rates ... (we are gathering documents, but currently "backing out" is definitely an option we are keeping open)

I know - but consider if you have a building obligation whether you think interest rates and construction prices will drop accordingly during this time... If a nationwide photovoltaic requirement comes, you have an additional 15-30k cost... And since single-family houses are politically more unwanted than ever anyway, I think the designation of new areas will be politically complicated... depending on age, the repayment time until retirement will be shorter

Regarding photovoltaic system. Uk, 9kwp photovoltaic, 5kw storage and hybrid inverter cost me 8.5k net last year (mostly EL), having it installed would have cost 11k net. Now you can certainly add 30-50% to that. However, electricity has also become more expensive; it feels like with wood. Pellet prices are simply linked to other energies.

I'll start again with the speed limit... there would be something like a possibility for an amicable agreement. My suggestion is that between 7 a.m. and 8 p.m. the speed limit should be 130, and at night everyone who wants to may drive freely. Why?! Because 1. during the day there is already so much traffic that you have to keep slowing down and accelerating again, which makes consumption shoot up again. 2. The majority of people who are in favor of a speed limit are probably on the road during the day and thus are not endangered. 3. Because there are also fewer trucks on the road at night and thus the drastic speed differences, where suddenly a truck pulls across, do not occur as often. One could list more arguments, but I have to keep working...

Can you please start a thread about this in the motor talk forum?
-Thanks

And since single-family houses are politically more unwanted than ever anyway, I think the zoning of new areas will be politically made more difficult...

Although it's not as bad as people make it out to be. In areas with high land prices, it simply doesn't make sense to designate new single-family house areas. No normal person can afford that anymore, and with small multi-family houses you can accommodate more people well. But in rural areas, the municipalities also have an interest. Nobody moves to Hintertupfingen for a 3-room apartment in an apartment block.

Although it’s not as bad as it’s made out to be. In areas with high land prices, it simply doesn’t make sense to designate new single-family house areas. No normal person can afford that anymore, and with small apartment buildings you can accommodate more people well. But in rural areas, the communities also have an interest in that. No one moves to Hintertupfingen for a 3-room apartment in a block of flats.

But there are more and more older Hintertupfingen residents who are deeply rooted in the village and for whom the house with a large plot, stairs, and a gutter that you have to clean with a big ladder eventually becomes too much. The children have moved out to the city. Then a nice new build apartment with a care bathroom, elevator, and a balcony or small terrace becomes attractive. Such housing is insufficiently available in villages, since traditionally one of the children stayed in the house, started a family there, and cared for the parents’ retirement home and the parents themselves. Another, younger family is then happy about such a vacated house, which also resolves the backlog of renovation: the building in the village center is brought up to current standards, thus making the village center visually more attractive again. And perhaps then the primary school doesn’t have to be closed after all… The contrast is the slowly decaying “witch’s house” in the middle of the village with an overgrown garden or gravel desert because the pension and vitality are increasingly insufficient. It gets really extreme when one of the partners has passed away or is in need of care and the other is already over 80.
