In Upper Austria, however, housing is still affordable, also thanks to the state’s housing subsidies, said Deputy Governor yesterday. and Housing Advisor Manfred Haimbuchner (FP) at a press conference with Linz City Councilor Michael Raml.
This year, 30 million euros would be invested in 1,500 additional apartments. The cooperation between the state, non-profit and commercial property developers is going well. A shutdown of social housing as in other federal states is not an issue in Upper Austria. This would reduce supply and further increase rents, Haimbuchner said.
However, social housing alone cannot dampen the pressure on the market. Haimbuchner sees federal politics as having a duty to counteract energy prices. The climate bonus is a “drop in the ocean” and the postponement of CO2 pricing does not pay any operating costs. (Rome)
