The SPD is critical of a cooperative building project on Johann-Strauss-Straße.
She would rather support the financially weaker - but she was outvoted.
Haar
- When Haarers get together for a cooperative building project on the community property in Johann-Strauss-Straße, 1, 3 and 5, they do not have the blessing of the SPD.
The local council faction is too middle class.
She would rather support the financially weaker with social housing.
With the votes of the CSU, the Greens and the FDP and against nine SPD council members, the local council has just decided to “approach” the project of cooperative housing construction on this community-owned property, which offers space for 33 apartments.
On October 7th, the community will invite you to an information event on the subject of cooperative housing, in order to find out whether there is any interest in a cooperative, with 75 percent of the members coming from the community.
A similar project in Garching met with great demand.
SPD municipal council demands: "Let's bury the cooperative model"
The SPD advocated the use of its own “local authority housing construction Haar” (KWH) on Johann-Strauss-Strasse. Because then one does not speak of a maximum rent of 13.50 euros per square meter as in the first model calculation for cooperative building, plus lease rent, but of 10.50 euros for social housing according to the Haarer model. "Let's bury the cooperative model and think more about the poorer citizens," said Peter Paul Gantzer (SPD).
Peter Siemsen (FDP) warned against playing off the middle class against - as Gantzer had called it - the lower class.
The two can no longer be so clearly separated, said Mayor Andreas Bukowski (CSU).
Educators and carers, for example, are not a classic clientele for social housing, but they also have massive problems on the tense Munich housing market.
Cooperative housing could definitely be of interest to you.
“Cooperatives could become the local model of the 21st century,” said Bukowski.
His wish for a “unanimous signal” from the local council for future comrades did not find any echo in the SPD.
Social housing should have priority
Peter Schießl (SPD) explained that the parliamentary group had discussed for a long time.
The decisive factor was KWH's declaration that it could manage the project itself.
Over the next few years, 30,000 apartments in Germany fell out of social security each year.
The SPD Haar gives social housing priority over cooperative models.
The appeal from Thomas Reichel (CSU) to try something new on the property never got caught.
To give a “new impulse” to the Haarer housing market, as Mike Seckinger (Greens) put it.
One thing must be clear: if interested parties can be found and a cooperative is founded, then the community will stand by the word.
The information evening
on cooperative housing construction is on Thursday, October 7th, from 7 p.m. in the community center.
