Buying real estate has become impossible for most people.
For people in cities yes.
education is free
I dont know of which standards we are comparing us with, but the current trend goes into a bad direction.
Education is free and you get what you pay for.
And the thing about the social system is also a matter of time if the polls turn reality.
I disagree. Take the technical university of Graz for instance. The work they accomplish regarding Cyber Security is quite amazing. Remember Meltdown and Spectre? Scientists from Graz were in key positions. Æpic Leak and SQUIP too.
What about Ferenc Krausz? He studied at the technical university in Vienna, and the team did some work in Vienna and they got the Nobel Prize this year.
Sure we have some smart people. Also Zeilinger from last year.
But first, will we be able to fill our programs with austrian smart people or are we more and more dependent on foreign students (I am not against foreign students, but I have experiences were 98% of program participants are foreign students)
Second, single geniuses will hardly be kept in austria.
What matters for a nation is a broad distribution of (high) knowledge.
Elementary and high schools are given more and more limited resources.
University is the same trend. Uni budgets are hardly pushing the inflation driven cost increas.
