Indigenous model - is this still legal?

If the municipality were to sell for 200€, the private prices would be much lower. Don't take it the wrong way, but at the moment I feel that even the municipalities want their share of the concrete gold (land gold).

And yes, I believe that politics has the duty to provide affordable rental housing or land for house construction. There are neither enough affordable rental apartments nor enough affordable plots of land here. Housing is a basic right and not an object of speculation.

To fulfill the fundamental right, single-family houses are the completely wrong approach. Especially in metropolitan areas. Only apartment blocks help here, which many people here are unlikely to like, as they already consider a semi-detached house to be half an imposition.

My enthusiasm certainly does not share the city's approach! However: our city lies in a basin, the possibilities are limited. The mountain slopes above are nature or landscape protection areas, the city extends like an octopus along the river valleys... The distances become long, public transport eventually no longer reaches. What are you supposed to do?? Now the allotment gardens all around on the hillside are being demolished (you can actually see how it is spreading all around: new development area, wasteland, garden area and half a year later everything has moved one step further) and you can acquire the building plots again through the bidding process. The 1000€/sqm mark was recently broken... You are most likely to get building land in the incorporated villages. One of these villages would be logistically sensible for me, only 1km from the tram terminus - but you can really only walk along the country road. The bus (city line!) runs every 3 hours until 7:30 pm, then it stops. I shuddered thinking that I (alone) would then have to constantly pick the children up there because they can't get home. Thank you very much, that won't work... I'm glad I "managed to snag" something in a village 800m next to my work (incorporated, public transport, city has grown right up to it). Surely there would still be a few building plots here, flat, "in" the village... privately owned and not going to be released...

In the city, I see it the same way. But I don’t want to live in a metropolitan area at all, rather on the edge of a small town or in a small rural community. How do they justify their horrendous [Grundstückspreise]?

PS: Against the leveling of the garden areas, the citizens, surprise, are of course up in arms...

: That sounds like Stuttgart... Then we are not far apart. I am looking between Schwäbisch Gmünd and the edge of the Alb. Since no ordinary person can afford anything in Stuttgart anymore, they all come here because of the railway line. Thus, everything along the B29 with a train station is also no longer affordable.
