Diversity Is Our Strength 
Luxury apartments for asylum seekers: 110 new buildings with AC [context: AC is super fricking rare in Germanic countries for private homes] and balcony are causing an outrage in the Vienna-Favoriten district. Austrians are being excluded, the FPÖ is outraged - and the city of Vienna remains silent regarding the costs.

VIENNA. The SPÖ-governed capital city of Austria has constructed 110 luxury apartments, equipped with AC and balconies. The catch: Austrians are not allowed to move in. The apartments are available exclusively to asylum seekers.
A written request for information by the FPÖ to the responsible Sozialstadtrat Peter Hacker (SPÖ) has now revealed details about the project. As the response shows, the housing project is exclusively directed towards migrants. The exact words: "Austrian nationals are not part of the target audience." Asylum seekers who move into the apartments are entitled to receive welfare.
No details on the costs
In addition, they are free to request financial aid for life sustenance, including rent. The city of Vienna keeps being clad in silence regarding the exact costs of the project. According to Hacker, the final expenditure numbers will only be available in 18 months once the project is ultimately concluded.
The Christian social service institutions [Diakonie] are taking care of the inhabitants, receiving funds from the Fonds Soziales Wien (FSW) in exchange. These transactions are hitherto undisclosed as well. The only thing that is known is that the FSW takes over the costs for staff and infrastructure. Currently, roughly 50 percent of the apartments are already being inhabited.
The FPÖ was publicly outraged at the approach by the city of Vienna. In a statement, party chairman Dominik Nepp criticized that, while "countless Viennese need to persevere in dilapidated council homes", newly built luxury apartments are being handed to asylum seekers "who haven't worked for a single day here".

I like how they don't even pretend that the refugees are ever gonna go back. Refugees, i.e. the people who """"flee"""" from somewhere and should theoretically want to go back to their home

95% of the so called refugees are economic migrants anyways
. Istg it has to be planned carefully because there is no other way you would have areas full of migrants where it's a little african enclave in your country, just look at marseille and it looks like it is from a third world shithole. I don't even know what's the point of living in europe if you have the same cultural enrichment you do have in america but with the benefit of having to pay half the taxes then there is no point
