Why is it that people can only name Vienna? Vienna is the exception, not the rule.
i don't think this argument makes sense. first of all, the existence of an exception proves that a better way is possible. second the whole point is that vienna has different regulations than berlin. you would have to point to cities that apply the same regulations as vienna but have a different outcome to be able to claim that vienna is an exception that somehow inexplicably works better, and then you could argue that we don't know why vienna is an exception. but the outcome in vienna can very well be explained. it's that the city owns a lot of property and subsidizes new developments. which other city in the world does that? show me a city that applies the same strategy as vienna without getting the same results. i don't think there is one.
