Müllerin, there is the house. My brother made it available to the city for refugees or Hartz IV rentals. That means, out of the 1000, we had nothing left. Zero nada. KarstenWild? Not everyone just has 800€ left over per month...
I also come from Hesse and honestly, the Vogelsberg (or actually all of East Hesse) is really terrible in terms of infrastructure, etc... I wouldn’t actually want to go there either. But for example, we are building in a small village with not even 600 inhabitants (Western Central Hesse) where all daily shopping options and doctors are reachable within 5 minutes, sometimes even in "our" village. There are also 2 internationally operating companies, a large car dealership, and a driving school. Kindergarten and schools, swimming pool, etc. are in the neighboring villages. So here it looks completely different from Vogelsberg. And the newly built house next to our property (the builders unfortunately separated during construction and then had it finished but then sold it) was just sold for supposedly about 400,000 €, so from the looks of it probably with little or no loss. Older houses also sell quite well here, provided they have been properly maintained. But some people really have completely exaggerated expectations.However, on the weekend I am in Hesse with my relatives. Unfortunately, it looks completely different there. My grandmother lives in Vogelsberg district. In that village, it feels like half the houses are empty or completely run down, and it takes forever to get anywhere. I would never even think of putting a house out in the sticks there.
So the new development area in Bad Laasphe shown in the post is definitely a failure in planning! It is located directly above the main access road in the direction that is always heavily trafficked and is at the same time quite far from the town center, so that the actual advantage of a small town, having everything within walking distance in an emergency, is lost and, of course, there is no urban public transportation at that size. So a car is necessary for almost everything...Whereas the municipalities should really consider whether it makes sense to designate another development area given so much vacancy, or whether there is the possibility to combat vacancy. You can see what comes out in the post. Vacancy in the village A settlement that is also not livable and presumably some would move away if they could.
oh guys as if you knew what will happen in 30 years
what happens if everyone from Ansbach moves to Fürth?
and then?
Or Amazon builds its HQ in Vogelsbergkreis

Trump is one of the very few US presidents who, halfway through his term, has not started a war. Instead, there has been diplomatic détente in the North Korea conflict, restraint, and even partial withdrawal from hotspots in the Middle East, etc.
I build my house for myself and where I want to spend the next years/decades.
