Financing construction of a single-family house in Southern Germany, 180m²

The revenues of the municipal utilities are gladly queer-subsidized. And since the costs of the municipalities are more likely to rise than fall, I would be very cautious here. Otherwise, you will quickly become a cash cow.

The municipal councils rely on the municipal utilities, of course hoping to get a slice of the pie, and the municipal utilities, well, they are first and foremost the experts you have to listen to.

The revenues of the municipal utilities are often used for cross-subsidization. And since the costs for municipalities tend to rise rather than fall, I would be very cautious here. Otherwise, you’ll quickly become a cash cow.

Cross-subsidies have already been prohibited in RLP municipal economic law back in my Juso days. That was so long ago that surely the other federal states have followed suit by now.

Most new development areas were planned during the gas heating era (when Fridays for school skipping wasn’t even a topic *SCNR*). In this respect, the focus on local heating systems is explained by the desire to look good during air quality measurements and to reduce the density of chimneys for this purpose. The systemic interplay of incompetence between municipal utilities and councils is, however, always gladly accepted by those involved.

Cross-subsidies have already been prohibited in Rhineland-Palatinate municipal economic law during my time with the Juso youth organization. That's so long ago that surely the other federal states have caught up by now. and for this purpose to reduce the chimney density. However, the system-related interlocking of the incompetences of municipal utilities and councils is always gladly seen by those involved.

haha, that was good. If the municipal utilities operate public transport at the same time, do I need to say more? Then there is also something like profit transfer in the GmbHs, no, none of this is cross-subsidization. *laugh*

You also don't reduce the chimney density; chimneys/stoves are not allowed to be banned, the Higher Administrative Court already put a stop to that decades ago.

Number 4.10 alone would annoy me a lot, where it is precisely prescribed how I have to build what. I have to ask the municipal utilities if I may connect a towel radiator and then also the underfloor heating, it can't get any more crazy than that.

But as long as we don't know anything about the monetary side, everything is still very much fishing in murky waters.

The fact is, geothermal energy does not pay off in modern new buildings, with mandatory photovoltaics even less so...

haha, that was good. If the municipal utilities operate public transport at the same time, do I need to say more? Then there is also something like profit transfer in the GmbHs, no, all not cross-subsidies. *laugh*

Of course, the municipal utilities are allowed to transfer profits to their parent companies, but not to subsidize public transport (or the swimming pools) from energy trading.
