Floor plan optimization 1st floor (if possible)

I once looked at the settlements in Adelsdorf. I thought that in the 21st century such settlements are no longer built. I was speechless. Then I found an article in the meier-magazin from 2016, Urban megalomania which describes the problems of these settlements and why the municipality, formerly with 8,000 inhabitants, allowed this. Yes, I’d rather live in my "cage" with a 1.8m high, opaque fence.

It is one settlement that was built or about 40 houses are still pending. And precisely in the 21st century, if anything is built, it’s like this: land sealing! 12 hectares and 550 residential units represent a density only known from inner cities. However, there is no multi-storey apartment building but affordable terraced houses, each with at least a small garden. The municipality approved this mainly to address the growing problem in the commuter towns: the increasing aging population. The municipality has gained many new taxpayers (home builders are very rarely on welfare) who are rather young (80% are between 25 and 40) and with them many children. Therefore, the municipality invested primarily in daycare centers. And it will be able to keep the middle school in the village in the medium term. Not every municipality in the district can claim that! Your "megalomania" also enables (among other things, because the entire area is a play street and located at the open edge of the village) children to be found everywhere here running around in groups and playing freely without further supervision/helicopter parenting. Also, not everyone wants to hide behind a 2-meter-high plastic-clad enclosure. And due to the affordable construction, many parents can afford this or still have enough left over to fulfill some other wishes for their children. And hand on heart: for most builders as well as for us, the alternative would not be a detached single-family house (due to runaway costs and lack of plots in the metropolitan area) but an apartment... and the majority of the "old residents" have meanwhile made peace with the development and also formed some friendships with the "new residents." By the way, it was no different back then in Feucht and Zirndorf!

There are no multi-storey apartment buildings for this, but affordable terraced houses, each of which has at least a small garden.

… and apparently some even with a lake view?

… and apparently some even with sea view?

Well, the pond was more marketing :p

… and apparently some even with a lake view?

You mean the carp pond, which was euphemistically marketed as a "lake";) At least those have a location on the edge of town and also a distant view from the roof terrace over more than 10 km. And behind the garden, a larger body of water glistens...

A water view is a water view – if you can't appreciate that… well, I don't know either :rolleyes:

Water view is water view - if you can't appreciate that… then I don't know either :rolleyes:

Well, if you knew these dense clouds made up of mosquitoes and crane flies that sometimes escape from a carp pond and appreciate them... please, I’m happy to take a step back so the volunteers can move forward better :p
