Against speculation
“Once funded, it must always remain funded,” explains the list For Innsbruck in a broadcast. Almost all political parties oppose speculation with subsidized property. The city, under the leadership of Für Innsbruck, entered here 10 years ago Permanent right of first refusal anchored in purchase contracts for condominiums built in Kranebitten. A buyer sued against this provision and she was right in the first instance. The city senate has decided to continue this legal dispute in the next instances. Until then, appropriate measures will be taken to prevent further loss of subsidized housing to the open market. In this regard, Für Innsbruck fully supports the SPÖ’s most recent demand, whereupon purchases of subsidized apartments by the IIG should initially be used for renting.
No profit maximization
“Für Innsbruck’s attitude has been known for many years and was repeatedly and massively emphasized, especially by City Councilor Christine Oppitz-Plörer: once funded – always funded. Only that is socially fair and not the profit maximization of an individual. This attitude is also too clear Specifications in the purchase contracts for subsidized condominiums.
Anyone who has purchased a subsidized apartment must sell it again at a fixed price to an applicant who is eligible for a subsidy.
This is our approach to keeping affordable housing affordable for years to come, and all mandataries in our club, on the second level, work intensively to achieve this,” explains GR Lucas Krackl.
clear attitude
“Speculation with publicly subsidized apartments is unfair. Similar to the SPÖ, however, we want to put the sale of subsidized condominiums on hold for the time being and introduce the current projects of normal rental. End of speculation with subsidized apartments will be permanently secured by a law,” concludes Krackl in his name the parliamentary group for Innsbruck.

“Once funded, always funded”
“It has always been clear to me as mayor to suspend the sale of apartments from the affordable property segment as long as the legal dispute has not brought clarity,”
reacts Bgm. George Willy on reporting in a broadcast. “As mayor, I am committed to the common good, so the principle “once funded, always funded” must apply so that there is no speculation with apartments from the housing promotion segment.” Therefore, the SPÖ run into the mayor “open doors here”.
Criticism of medium-sized housing advertisers list
“The fierce and underhand criticism from the FPÖ, FI and ÖVP shows that their unfinished proposal for a list of advertisers for small and medium-sized businesses is not the last word.” Instead of dealing with the arguments put forward by the experts at the first housing workshop , would spread untruths about the mayor.
“I seek to prioritize housing for those who need it most. At the same time, the problem of the migrating middle class can only be solved if we can offer these Innsbruck residents an offer of affordable housing – preferably in their own homes. I would like to work intensively on precisely what this offer can look like so that we can also reach people in the middle class who are accurate.”
At the city workshop, well-founded doubts were expressed by several people as to whether the current supply of urban rental apartments would be suitable.
