lol sry but living in a sozialbau isn't what i meant. i was talking about a normal life and 10€ per squaremeter for the lowest art to live is expensive as well.
for example here in my small city you have to pay like 7-8€ for a nice place which isn't a “sozialbau“. there you live only with one other family in a stand alone house or so.
what i said if you earn enough you can live great in cities especially in this expensive cities but if not you can't afford a nice 120 squaremeters apartement.
and to your point that there are better places in austria sure but they only have big cities in this. for me for example a nice small town is always better than a million+ city. but the point that the shops close 1.5 hours earlier on saturdays is really not so important lol. and for people who work in those shops it's better to close earlier so they have a better life then^^
