Future construction cost development in the next 3-5 years

Yes, the fact that the automotive industry is going downhill is the industry's own fault. Arrogance that inevitably has to backfire. A change in thinking should have happened long ago. Germany as a country of innovation is something of the past. It just hits those who are already much better off than the rest of the country. You just have to make do.

Only the South pays for the others as well. If that is no longer possible, the system collapses. It has already become difficult in other industries as well. I know a renowned lighting manufacturer who has just laid off 12% of the permanent staff. One always has to adapt. However, if the system collapses, options are scarce for many.

It is the politics that is currently destroying the economy. The technological change is the second part. Other countries are smarter...

Only that the South also pays for the others.

That hasn’t always been the case. And it was possible.

Even though I am rather pessimistic in the short to medium term (but that is also complaining at a very high level!), I still think that adaptability has been proven in this country. You can rely on that. Things will somehow keep going.

And I emphasize again the high level at which complaints are made. We have time and money to take care of things that are sometimes far removed from the existentially necessary.

On the other hand, I cannot understand the disbelief in a bursting bubble in the big cities. The currently dominant topics of environment, technological progress, and migration point exactly in the opposite direction: out of the city.

BW was always a donor country. Bavaria from 1987

I don't think there is a bubble in the cities. The topics of mobility, CO2 tax, flexible working hours will continue to drive people towards cities. Currently, those leaving the cities are people who don't have the money to build or buy there.
And short-time work and layoffs during the economic crisis massively depressed real estate prices for us back then.
Let's see what comes. However, I am not pessimistic. I am a civil servant, and in a state full of civil servants (including the government), I approach potential crises calmly.
A state bankruptcy is then very far away.
