True, even tho I think in some places it may be quite difficult and less necessary. For example in cities like Shanghai, Tokyo, Dubai or other place where people often work only for a few years. Still, generally I agree.
I used to live in Poznan for nearly 4 years, moved from New Zealand. I was very happy in Poland, and it was just such a comfy feeling for me to live there, only for one reason - the people! I use Poland as my frame of reference because from 2022, I moved to Finland for a job, and the last two years have been very difficult for us, for one reason - the people. I too have children, and I had such a strong feeling in my stomach that Poland does a superb job at taking care of, and raising such well adjusted children... Considering you have such low taxes there for IT specialists, and at least until recently the living costs were quite low, I wonder why you moved? I think the salaries in Austria are very low, and you have very high costs for nearly everything..
I agree that Poland is quite good, especially for software engineers. We wanted to experience something different. My wife is a scientist and has much better opportunities in Austria. The air quality is also much better in Vienna than in any major city in Poland. We had a good life in Poland, but we are happier in Austria. It is hard to find a better place for a family than Vienna.
I am 68 years old and have lived all my life in Vienna. You are privileged to live in the 19th district. Vienna does not try to prevent ghettos! Look what is happening in 10th district for example! I used to live in this "multicultural" districts of Vienna. As an Austrian you are the outsider there, integration of these foreigners does not take place at all. Would you like to send your kid to a school in one of these districts that are dominated by so-called refugees. Of course there are more cops in the district in which you live and in the touristic parts of the city than everywhere else. I used to love living in Vienna, but not anymore. I just read your answers to the comments and am astonished that you have no clue about what is really happening in this once very liveable city for everyone not just for the privileged few.
I think you are a bit unfair. I have friends in many districts, it is not that I am presenting the city from the perspective of a single place. I acknowledge that there are problems in some parts of the city, but I am not sure what you expect from me. I am telling a personal story from a perspective of a young professional living in Vienna for 4 years. I am not pretending to be a working class or know everything about the city.
@@brigittecech7519 I don’t have a point of reference. I have moved in 2020, for a year it was a ghost town, after that it was normal. I don’t know how it looked before Covid. All I know from Austrian friends is that it was quite rough in the 90s.
Actually there are less „Cops“ in the 17,18,19 districts then in the problem areas like the 10,11,21. Typical right Wing Propaganda! Ps.: I was born here in 1980 and know my City
I lived in Vienna from 1960 - 1990. One of the most beautiful cities in the world. I live 50 km south of Vienna now and I am shocked what happened the last 15 years. Too many refugees from Arab and African countries and Afghanistan who are not willing to integrate themselves or even learn the language. Not working, making trouble , drugs, knifes, bothering girls and women etc. Makes me cry. Wish we could turn back time some 20 years and not make the same mistakes again.
I don’t want to tell anyone what is right for their country, but seeing comments like this one makes me wonder what would really happen to Austria without immigrants. In some many industries migrants seem to be a significant part of the workforce nowadays. How would Austria solve the labor shortage without the immigration? Another thing to note is that based on what I see it is actually quite hard to migrate to Austria from outside the EU or at least it is significantly harder than getting to Germany. We help professionals with the visa process and usually they don’t bother to wait so long and go with other offers.
@@TomaszJakubKusienicki the study often getting yearly push from state media such as ORF is the "mercer" as written on wikipedia: "The list is intended to help multinational companies decide where to open offices or plants, and how much to pay employees."

While talking about social housing, in that particular street he was walking all the buildings in that street on the left and on the right were "social housing buildings" = "Gemeindebauten", every single one.
Funny thing is that it was a lucky coincidence. It was the 3rd take during my walk without any specific route. 😊 Another proof that it is easy to stumble on those kinds of buildings.
Austria is not racist. We have multicultural friends. But every country has the right to stay how its culture originally was. We are full... we have more than enough people from other countrys & cultures. Stay in your country and make your country a good country. We dont want more people. We are full... we dont need more people. Stop making promotion. Thank you.
It's a complex topic, but I'm sure of one thing. There's a shortage of people in my industry in Austria. It's very hard to find experienced workers even though we offer some of the best rates in Vienna (easily 80k+ for seniors, 100k+ for leads). Maybe it's different in other industries. I have no idea. 🤔
This is not a bad point, it is true that I try to be careful about what I say and only share what I have experienced or know first hand. I know people like strong stories, but I do not want to add something to the discussion that I have not yet had the opportunity to confirm.
There are schools with 90% pupils, who don t speak German. And also in the other schools 50% or more. We have serious problems in the schools in Vienna. Pupils come out of school without being able to write or read. You can read about those problems everywhere in the newspapers. Even muslim parents give their children to catholic schools, cause they learn more there, than in public schools. In my house there are 13 appartements and only in two live Austrian familys. And there are many cultural conflicts here in Vienna and problems with young muslim gangs, terrorising the neighborhood.
Are you seriously talking about racist experiences without having experience of racism? And make it a topic of a public video? Seriously? Also, have you ever been to Favoriten?
Hi, I’m not sure what you mean. This video is not about any experience of racism, rather a report on how I see the city after all this years. It is actually amazing that there are so few bad things I had to report and some of them are just reports of people saying me about something. Still, considering that I got the same information from a few independent individuals I decided to mention it in this video while acknowledging that those reports are not verified by me. I hope you understand my way of thinking here.
To answer some of the rather unfair comments to you, I work in the 10th district in a job that most people would rather avoid. I recieve danger pay for what i do, but that would be the case no matter what district i work in. In comparison with many areas in citys across Europe, Favoriten is a walk in the park. But saying that. there is definately a large amount of tension and integration is definately not a strongpoint. also the media attention doesn't really help as i find it tends to overinflate the situation and cause more harm than good. on the otherside, as nice as favoriten is, the potential to spiral out of control is a very real issue and 1 that politics need to look into.
Thank you for your insights. To me personally Vienna also seems much safer than other big cities like Paris or London. I hope it will not change. All the best!
@@TomaszJakubKusienicki Its important to remember that Favoriten is the most populous district in vienna, so statistically it is more likely to turn up in the news. its a dense district so the demographic will be poorer and thus include more people with a migrant background. these factors will push the bad reputation. making a weapons free zone in inner favoriten also further makes the population feel like their being picked on or sidelined. honestly i see no reason to allow weapons in any district in vienna. its not good, but as you said there are far more dangerous places in europe. on a side note, not based on favoriten itself but any job that involves danger pay, its essentially 20 euros a day untaxable to be confronted with some of the worst humanity has to offer. i think most people would think about that. thats 2.50 euros an hour for dealing with insane violence, death, suicide and so on. IF you only do a 35 hour week. most do a lot more. tax free is nice though :P (SEG zuschlag)
@@TomaszJakubKusienicki It started in 1920 with social housing. Since then, left alone the dark time of Nazi regency, all mayors were from the social democratic party.
😅 I think 19th is a bit overhyped. Not everyone is wealthy in Döbling. I believe many people in Vienna are doing just fine. Probably more than in many other major cities.
Vienna is lost ... The most liveable city for whom who has enough money and can afford an apartment in an expensive part of the city. You should show other districts and the real face of this city in your videos. This most livable nonsence is only a propaganda of the policy-makers.
I can agree that people who earn well have it easier, but can't you say that about every place in the world? What is unique about Vienna is that there are many affordable apartments in every district. In our daughter's class there are children from working-class families living in ordinary blocks of flats, as well as children from 1000-meter villas. I could show more other districts of Vienna in my videos, it was even one of the first projects on this channel, however these films had poor viewership so I only made 4 episodes. I wonder which of the 23 districts of Vienna you would really like to see to expose this propaganda, because most of them are really ok in my opinion. Districts 1.-9. are in the very center and are of course very popular. Districts 13., 18. and 19. are mostly wealthy districts, but as I mentioned they are not absolutely exclusive and are in fact very nice. District 20. does not look amazing for the most part but it is perfectly located, close to the center, with the nice Augarten park on one side and the Danube on the other. Sometimes I feel like people there are a bit more grumpy, but it doesn't seem dangerous. District 21. is not very characteristic in my opinion, just ordinary buildings and shops like everywhere and lots of Poles. :P District 22. has a few nice places and lots of shops, including the largest shopping mall in the city and a good connection to the center. A lot of my friends live there. Districts 14.-17. I know less. I go there sometimes for a party or to meet someone. You can definitely meet a lot of Serbs there, and from my experience they are the most helpful people in the city. However, I do not recommend provoking them. I don't really know much about districts 10.-12., I think I have to go there. I heard that you can get the best kebab in the city there. It's no joke. If this is the dark side of the city you are talking about, then maybe you're right, I do not know yet, but even if it's true, it's still a bit of a margin.
Good report! You mentioned good schools. Truth is we all send our children to catholic private schools (bad for those who cant afford it) as the public schools are full of muslim migrants who are not willing to adapt and speak the language properly.
I don't have enough friends with kids to know for sure what it's like at every school in the city, but at our school we don't have any problems of this type and it is a public school. That said, I can confirm that many people I know send or consider sending their kids to Catholic schools even if they are not religious because those schools have good reputation and they are not crazy expensive (still, they are not cheap, especially if you have more children).
@@stevenr2463 Culture is a broad term, but I can agree that Poles and Austrians are very similar in many aspects. Kraków (Krakau) was even once part of the Habsburg Empire and many traditions and customs mixed in this part of Europe. Still, the differences that exist and I have been discovering since the move, make living in Vienna definitely more interesting than living in Poland.
Nothing will change because the FPÖ need all those immigrants in order to get elected by people like you.. They were already in Goverment 3 times in the last 24 years all in all for about 13 years (including their split into FPÖ + BZÖ) and did nothing about immigration, even on the contrary the numbers raised, better ask yourself "why"...although I already answered that in the very first sentence. Don´t be that naive.
For the people looking for actual advice. Ignore the guy about private scools and muslims. The first part about private scools is complete nonsense. The secound parts is partally true in some scools in the worst districts. But i think its not hard to see what a person he seems to be with his comment below. "Austrians and germans are the same culture" Theres sadly a number of people here who have decide when they cant be racist to people from certaib countries anymore the just define there own region(normaly europe with exceptions of some balkan countries because they have some muslim people in there that are actually locals and thats untollerable for them) as good and everything else as bad dangerous and unciviliced so its technically not racism.
I actually know personally quite many people who send or consider sending their kids to Catholic schools even if they are not religious. I think it is mostly because those schools have good reputation and they are not crazy expensive (compare to non religious private schools) and not becuase of being afraid of public schools in general. I also think it might be a "döbling bubble" as you still have a good income to send your kids there, especially if you have more than one. Personally I am very satisfied with the public system. The rasism topic it is very problematic for me as I am not sure what to say here. I hear about this problem, but I haven't had a chance to see it in person and people are reluctant to talk about it, so it's hard for me to add anything to this discussion other than that sometimes people mention it.
@@TomaszJakubKusienicki Yeah i do belive that a 100% he just made it sound as if other scools wer to "dangerous" or something. But i dont think its about the quality of the scools but rather about the fact that the scools are overloaded. Often you dont even get a spot at the scool you apply to and get send to another one that still has spots. Its a well know proplem and if you spend the money to not be on a public scool you have much less of it. For the secound part: Yeah i know. Its kind of a two-edged sword. There are proplems with muslim immigrants and there should be things done against it. But there are really extreme people where it has nothing to do with caring about proplems anymore. Like certain groups that want to hold ther ethnicty or culture "clean" from everything foreign. This guy saying you were the same culture after his questionable comment really sounds like one of them saying to you that you dont need to worry about them because polish are the same culture and will not be one of them that will be remigrated(or a lot worse depending on the groub but the more extreme ones seem to be more in germany then in austria).
@ well said. Thank you for providing your perspective and more insights. I think you are right. I hope that I will keep meeting good people on my journey.
It depends where exactly you live, if you live near the U-Bahn you can get to the center very quickly, but yes, if you are in the hills it might take some time.

@@TomaszJakubKusienicki Yeah i do belive that a 100% he just made it sound as if other scools wer to "dangerous" or something. But i dont think its about the quality of the scools but rather about the fact that the scools are overloaded. Often you dont even get a spot at the scool you apply to and get send to another one that still has spots. Its a well know proplem and if you spend the money to not be on a public scool you have much less of it.
For the secound part: Yeah i know. Its kind of a two-edged sword. There are proplems with muslim immigrants and there should be things done against it. But there are really extreme people where it has nothing to do with caring about proplems anymore. Like certain groups that want to hold ther ethnicty or culture "clean" from everything foreign. This guy saying you were the same culture after his questionable comment really sounds like one of them saying to you that you dont need to worry about them because polish are the same culture and will not be one of them that will be remigrated(or a lot worse depending on the groub but the more extreme ones seem to be more in germany then in austria).
@ well said. Thank you for providing your perspective and more insights. I think you are right. I hope that I will keep meeting good people on my journey.
Facts hurt peoples feeling.
The problem with the 19th district in Vienna is that it takes forever to go to the city center -_-
It depends where exactly you live, if you live near the U-Bahn you can get to the center very quickly, but yes, if you are in the hills it might take some time.
