In Taufkirchen there are 44 new council flats for ten euros per square meter.
They would be ready for occupancy by February 1 - but they are empty.

- For three years, the municipality has not set any rules as to who can move in there.
The apartments would not only be a remedy against social inequality, but also a way to attract skilled workers.
At the beginning of 2020, the Free Voters had already made a proposal as to the criteria under which direct debit authorizations could be distributed - the decision was postponed for so long that the apartments could now remain empty.
"This is a grievance," said Julius Amareller (CSU).
"We watched for three years," remarked Rudi Schwab (Greens), whose faction in the municipal council had submitted an emergency motion to finalize the award guidelines.
None of the councils really wanted to say who missed what and where.
Ultimately, the responsibility, as head of administration,
Special session before Christmas
The fact is: A special meeting of the municipal council should now regulate everything before Christmas.
At ten euros per square meter, the apartments are a very attractive offer.
However, not only people on social assistance should be qualified, but also those people who are above the income limit but still cannot afford an apartment in Taufkirchen.
The attractive apartments are also intended to attract nursing and teaching staff in a targeted manner.
"The municipal council decides what goes into the guidelines," said Sander.
Easier said than done.
Income limits, involvement in clubs, living time in Taufkirchen, property in other cities - already in the municipal council meeting, the members quickly lost themselves in detailed discussions.
"The decisive criterion is the income situation," says Rudi Schwab, who misses this in the previous proposal.
Thomas Viehweg (CSU) would like to take the work in sports clubs more into account.
He sees “added value for precarious situations and integration” especially in child and youth work.
Transparent procedure required
Overall, the municipal council was frustrated because, after a lot of work and several drafts, there is still no politically and legally watertight list of criteria.
Above all, Peter Hofbauer (FW) complained about his seeped work that was in the proposal from 2020, he was finding it difficult to find the points from his proposal at the time in the current version.
He also expressed concern about social parasites and called for a "transparent procedure in the social committee instead of the administration going it alone" for all special cases.
The administration said it was not practical.
If you want to recruit staff, you sometimes have to guarantee apartments within 24 hours.
During the debate about any special cases, it became apparent how the fractions' images of humanity clash when it comes to social assistance.
Nevertheless, a constructive special session can still iron out the omissions.
The move-in date could then only be slightly shifted.
