Are you looking for a nice home, a municipal apartment or do you need a repurposing? That’s no problem! Become a friend today and take advantage of great discounts!
As someone who regularly deals with politics, you eventually become hardened. The fact that Viennese SPÖ officials would have shamelessly taken advantage of real estate purchases will only cost you a tired smile. It is nothing new that Vienna is a self-service store for some comrades!
Lots of happy coincidences
Nevertheless, the audacity with which the Reds have reportedly grabbed dream properties in our beautiful federal capital is astounding. The district leader of Donaustadt is said to have secured a piece of land at a swimming pond in Breitenlee in 2020. That was a year before the property was reclassified as building land, which would have doubled its value. What a happy coincidence!
Do you also want to move? Unfortunately not!
But it was not just the district leader who benefited from this good fortune. Three other SPÖ officials are among his neighbors in Badeidyll, and other comrades from the red circle were also allowed to move to Breitenlee. Anyone who has had a taste of the garden idyll will unfortunately be disappointed: the plots are sold out.
Would a normal mortal have gotten such a good deal?
But you can also do good business in Ottakring with the right lot box. As reported today, the next red had a particularly lucky hand there. Shortly before the general sales stop for allotments, the ridiculously low price offer from the Ottakringer boss continued. Would normal mortals have gotten such a good deal?
Subdivision plots for “our people”!
Hardly likely. Anyone who has ever tried to lease a piece of land cheaply knows that most allotment associations often do not respond at all or have a miserably long waiting list. Detto, who wanted to buy from the city before the sales freeze in 2021. The impression: nothing works here without a red party register and good contacts. Vienna as a self-service store – for a party that thinks it wants to represent “our people”, this is a declaration of bankruptcy.
