Indigenous model - is this still legal?

One of our neighboring villages also only sells plots to residents of the municipality. We could have bought there if we had rented an apartment there beforehand as a primary or secondary residence.

We have decided on another municipality.

My employer, on the other hand, is very glad that I came here!

Then the employer can stick to his "single point of contact" in his district to award points for the local resident models for bringing the endorsement of a regionally based employer.

Get involved in the town, then you will be rated like a local when it comes to the properties,

Those who do that will hardly need a local resident model but will have their property allocated among the marksmen brothers.

The requirement for a primary residence might also have been advantageous in the Nordlys building area.

That only causes trouble for weekend residents at their weekday residences if they register their vacation home as their primary residence - motor vehicle tax is a matter for the federal states.

The fundamental problem is the national situation (can one already call it a housing shortage?) and that building land is in short supply.

When the legislators eventually realize that we currently have 1. population growth due to immigration as well as 2. a general increase in prosperity and that previous measures aka "Mietpreisbremse" do not solve the shortage... then... yes, then the municipalities will hopefully be legally enabled to expand beyond their narrow inner circles without having to go through a process lasting >10 years. But as long as the rulers reside at the top of the prosperity pyramid, it always takes a little longer until the real problems from further down are noticed.

When building plots are then available according to demand, the problem will eventually resolve itself.

Hardly any insight has reached those in power as clearly as that the mob can only be kept from revolting by cheap building loans given their policy quality. But increasing the owner-occupier rate could not alleviate a housing shortage - quite the opposite.

Local resident models do not restrict the land market but regulate it: the core issue is precisely that speculators should not be allowed to soak up the land - not to keep Kaltenthal "out" of home-building Auingern.

Building plots remain slow sellers until they are subdivided: then only tiny "halves" fit on them, but the plots are then as small as the creditworthiness of the people who are currently being convinced that they can belong to the owner-occupier target group.

What would speak against excluding investors from the allocation of land?
It works like that in Ulm as well. There, you cannot speculate with land, and that has not been possible for many years now.

Oh, by the way, my grandfather built in the 50s. He was a miner, my grandmother was a housewife. Sure, it is always a question of expectations, but why I, as a tenured academic with an A13 salary as the sole breadwinner, can no longer build a house is really tough...

How exactly does that work in Ulm?

Grandpa in the 50s probably still didn’t give a damn about the connecting door between the garage and the utility room, walked into the shower by lifting his own feet like it used to be, didn’t have a starry sky above the washbasin, had the wardrobe bluntly in view from the bed, etc. – back then people were not only down-to-earth underground. With A13 I still see a prospective builder clearly in the club, but not with A8, as is nowadays often presented as no problem at all.
