Rudolf Hojna-Leidolf will only say goodbye to the railroad workers' housing estate at Salzburg station when the Linz-based owner EBS finally makes an acceptable offer. So far, the apartments on offer have been "too far away and too expensive" for him and his fellow campaigners.

The swifts dart daringly from roof edge to roof edge, the shade provides protection from the hot August sun - Rudolf Hojna-Leidolf likes to sit on a bench under the willow in the inner courtyard. "That's all you need," says the pensioner from the railroad workers' housing estate.
