the rent per squaremeter in Vienna (first graph) rose much faster and is currently much higher than in austrias second largest city: Graz (second graph) Both cities grew in the past ten years, but especially in the last few years Graz was more successful at building new supply

New data on Public transit funding in Vienna: The Public transit company gets roughly a billion euros from the city and 200 million from Central government, but this is both for investment and operation Fare box revenue is roughly 63% (485M € in subsidy), good considering cheap ticket prices

Here it is on a map, the new bikelane in red, this stops having to go across the gürtel on the yellow existing lanes so you can keep going on the eastern side with no unnecessary crossings

Lets gooooo A gap in the gürtel bike route in Vienna at Westbahnhof will be finally closed in the next month Car lanes will stay the same tho, because that road operated with a lane less because of a construction project (which is now close to done) anyways

With April data arriving we are on track for a growth of around 10-15k thousand people in 2025 in Vienna, which is almost half the growth of the past two years This is almost certainly because since the end of the war in syria the number of syrians coming to Vienna has dropped significantly

shows monthly population growth in Vienna for the years 2019-2023 and 2025, shows monthly population growth of around 600 in april 2025

shows monthly migration by country of birth in Vienna since Jan 2022, syrian number is significantly down in the first 3 months of 2025

Last Sunday wasnt just a City-wide election, but also 23 district elections happened, and not only austrian citizens, but also EU-Citizens are eligble to vote there And it seems like the Greens absolutely dominated that EU-Vote getting 36,6% of it way ahead of the spö at 28,2%

There is Election analysis based on metro lines happening in Vienna Here metro line U6 clearly shows that the green and fpö voters live in completely different parts of the city, greens in urban centre and fpö on the outskirts

Okay we might actually have a change in district governments in Vienna the 5th district is extremely close and might switch from the social democrats to the greens The only other one that isnt decided is the 6th one which might also switch from spö to greens, but less likely

Infrastructure explained @infraexplained.bsky.social · 27/04/2025

the results of todays Viennese election shifts in the right wing camp and the social democrats loose a bit and the liberals gain a bit, but otherwise not much changes the district results will be interesting because they have a lot of power over street redesigns

The myth of a cheap Vienna is gone now! Rents in Vienna increased by 9% in the past year and are now the second highest in the Country at over 20€ per m^2 We really need to cut building regulations and allow the market to catch up to demand
