Reuniting families with refugees - Vienna is currently facing a mammoth task, with schools even setting up container classes. But what does all this mean for the housing market? She is responsible for housing and women in Vienna - Deputy Mayor and City Councillor Kathrin Gaál (SPÖ) on allotment gardens, council apartments, the end of the world cultural heritage site and the wave of violence 

"Krone": Ms. Gaál, you are SPÖ Deputy Mayor and Housing Councillor for the City of Vienna, hence the following question: How many hectares of allotment gardens do you own?

Kathrin Gaál: Zero.

Many Viennese spend their whole lives on a waiting list, and the SPÖ member of parliament Petra Bayr receives two plots of land next to each other, the SPÖ district leader Ernst Nevrivy is being investigated by the public prosecutor's office in the rezoning case. What are you thinking as a) a member of the SPÖ and b) a citizen of this city?
