The municipal Council brings to the city Council in a quandary: it must equip itself one more Time for negotiations with the SBB. The left-green majority in Parliament, forcing the government to do so. Your is the proportion of non-profit housing, to be built on the Site Neugasse in district 5, also to the Contrary to the SBB still too low. New, the percentage should be at least half of the Residential component. In addition, the share for non-profit commercial space should be at least 33 per cent – a further 10 percent of the area to be secured for the school.
The vote result was clear: the proposal that the SP was introduced, received in the end the votes of the Greens, the GLP, the AL and the EPP. FDP and SVP were against it. City councillor André Odermatt (SP) was confident: “The chances that something Good is produced, are very large.” He called on the Council to be ready to compromise.
SBB do not sell
Originally, the SBB were willing to let a third of the apartments, non-profit cooperatives to create. So that left circles and people from the district were not in agreement; they gathered as an Association Noigass under the title “Europe meets Avenue – now the SBB Area Neugasse buy” in record time, the necessary signatures for a popular initiative. The city Council subsequently turned obligation pursuant to, in writing, to the SBB and asked whether they would sell the Premises or in the building. The response of the Railways was a clear ‘no’. But they were willing, of the city accommodating: in addition to the non-profit housing that should be created in the building of co-operatives, saw the SBB new, another third for Housing with limited price rent and another third in front of Living with a market rent. A quarter of the total land area was provided for school (10 percent) and commercial (15 percent).
Green and AL wanted to go a step further than the SP and demanded that the proportion of social housing should be two-thirds. Luca Maggi (Green) said that a Europe-Allee was not enough, as the third of not-for-profit housing had been simply forgotten. Also, Christine Schiller (AL) was of the opinion that it is for the SBB’s time for redress, after they could create as much living and business space with the only “strategy on profit maximization,” especially in the Zurich area. Walter fear of the AL said it was the democratic right of the Council to send the city Council again in negotiations with the SBB. “This is space planning,” he said.
blackmail
fear was in response to the allegations of the Bourgeois, who accused the initiators and the red-green majority on the Council extortion. Urs Egger of the FDP said that the project of the SBB is purely for profit maximization. The prices are across the country, but also in Zurich at the Sink, like a newspaper have shown report these days. Higher Rents would mean that better-off pulling the end of people would pay more taxes. On this, the city was dependent. His party colleague Alexander Brunner, calculated on the basis of the average income in Zurich that many of you could afford an apartment at a rent of 4000 francs.
Urs Fehr (SVP) alleged that the Ratslinken, to operate the exploitation of democracy. “If an owner does not want to sell his plot or no non-profit housing on his Land wants, that is his right.” And Samuel Balsiger (SVP) said: “you want to expropriations and socialism. The property is the guarantee for prosperity.”
finally adopted a compromise, the SP had introduced Vera Ziswiler. Half of the area was reserved for non-profit housing to “more than a fair Deal”. “For us, this is the red line that we will not fall short.” If the city Council does not take this into account in the implementation template, it is necessary to bring the Initiative to a vote.
The city Council had requested to explain this to invalid, since it was implemented. The municipal Council declared them to be valid. And she now uses as a threat.
