Indigenous model - is this still legal?

Public transportation is a tricky subject. It was partly discontinued not just for fun. Until the end of the 80s, we had buses to the district town every hour plus school buses, and during shift times, the bus went directly to Schweinfurt to the factory gates. So it was convenient and fast, with no intermediate stops. With bus and train, it was even quite comfortable to get to Würzburg. Now people would like to do that again, but the routes are gone because they were hardly used.

Driver's license at 17 and permission for home-work, home-school travel is almost normal here. Guest school applications for vocational school as well. What is also seen more and more often are 45 km/h cars. That requires a certain financial backing from the family. There are no subsidies to get to a training place. And they would make sense even with functioning public transport. Probably never every tree will be served.

I find the local resident model good and right. Even here more and more people are coming from the city and want to build. Building plots exist on paper, but that is useless if grandma holds 3 plots in case the grandson wants to move here someday.

And to contribute something to the topic... I am basically in favor of a municipality being able to decide on the allocation criteria; the population structure of a municipality is crucial for its development and survival...

Can or may this idea also be applied to Germany as a whole against the background of migration? On the one hand, everyone is welcome, on the other hand, foreigners from the neighboring town are already excluded from the allocation of building land because they might not engage properly in the local club. I bet that a solvent and willing-to-build Syrian can secure a building plot despite local preference, but as I said: woe to a family from the surrounding area who applies. Simply ridiculous what is going on here.

Public transport does not have to be strictly based on the principle of economic efficiency. Buses can also be replaced by 10-seat vehicles.

What was done: Public land sold to investors. Public transport discontinued due to "unprofitability." Result: Everything better? No!

The local residents' model does not cost usable living space; it is just a preference for a certain group. The above, however, really hit hard.

Can or may this thought also be applied to all of Germany against the background of migration? On the one hand, everyone is welcome, on the other hand, foreigners from the neighboring town are already excluded from the allocation of building plots because they might possibly not engage adequately in the local club. Bet you a hundred that a solvent and construction-willing Syrian can claim a building plot despite local preference, but as I said: woe betide a family from the surrounding area applying. Simply ridiculous what is going on here.

I'm still not quite clear what exactly you want to express with that or how much sarcasm is involved...

But just prophylactically...

Please don't put words in my mouth and associate them with anything about migration or not. I also don't see what one has to do with the other. No municipality prohibits selling or renting real estate to non-locals (location-based) or those with a migration background. There are also other criteria, such as age structure or the Sylt example. For me, it's about a municipality having the right (though not an obligation) to decide to some extent about the allocation criteria for plots marketed by the municipality.

Maybe you didn't mean it that way, but as far as I'm concerned, please keep me out of such statements!

If public transport were run according to economic efficiency, some cities would also be worse off. There are so many lines that are not economically viable. I just see a lot of empty buses. In the summer, there is again a shuttle to a popular excursion destination. Somehow, there is never anyone sitting inside. At the same time, the police are diligently collecting driver's licenses because some people still drive after consuming beer. One has to say that nobody would ever take the bus for shopping. Even if the line runs regularly. Maybe for eating ice cream in the city center. We had/have a community bus that primarily offered older people the opportunity to go to the neighboring village for shopping, to the doctor, etc. There are villages that have a call taxi/bus. Especially the latter could be the right solution. It was moderately accepted. The village shop is partly supported and being reintroduced.

When it comes to shopping, one has to say that no one would ever take the bus. Even if the line runs regularly.

Excuse me? That is the main reason why people here take the bus during the day!
