How bad is the housing shortage in the Ländle really? How long do applicants have to wait for a non-profit apartment and why aren't more of them being built? In the "Krone" interview, Provincial Councillor Marco Tittler (ÖVP) provides the answers. 

"Krone": Mr. Tittler, what is the current economic situation in Vorarlberg?
Marco Tittler: The upswing phase that all the experts had predicted for mid-2024 has unfortunately not materialized. The forecasts have not come true. We have been in a recessionary phase for a good two years now. I hope that the global economy and the economy will recover somewhat in the course of 2025. The advantage for Vorarlberg is that our federal state will enter a recovery phase more quickly due to the circumstances. Conversely, we are currently much more affected by downturns.
