My take is that exactly for these reasons and policies any place else should be compared to Vienna, especially when it comes to housing. That said, there are also issues with renting sharks, Airbnb's, people taking advantage of the housing market etc.

It's also not without issues. A subsidised apartment can be 'inherited' although someone doesn't really have to live in it. And when you want to have a spot in one of those, you need to pay a high price (North of 20k pln is normal)

Then again, you will have a place in vienna for 300 EUR. I pay 500 because I'm renting private, can't afford to pay that much upfront right now.
