"Housing must be affordable again!" The SPÖ has been plastering all its billboards with these words for years. If the "Reds" actually join the government in a three-party coalition, they will be judged by their own demands. It is no secret that rents have developed in the wrong direction in recent years. Krone+ shows where prices have exploded. And where things have actually become cheaper.

Prices for land, houses and apartments have gone up in recent years. And rents have not become cheaper either. Together with other price increases (inflation), the rise in housing costs is one of the main financial concerns for Austrians.
