> Kurt Puchinger takes us to his office via a Hapsburg-era “paternoster” cyclical lift.

Even though, the word "Hapsburg" exists, it is very uncommon to write it that way. (It is "Habsburg")

> Tenants’ incomes are not continuously assessed, so pay progression throughout a resident’s career does not jeopardise their right to remain in public housing.

This is correct but this comes with a unfortunate side effect. If no one checks your income, you can do something which is called "Untervermietung". Basically, you let the apartment while it is on your name and you make a profit (Airbnb) [0]

In addition, I want emphasise that social housing is NOT only for Austrians. You can also get a flat as an EU citizen. But you have already lived a few years in Vienna. [1]

EDIT: grammar

In Austria, you have to earn at least 3700€ (before taxes) to have noncompetes.

> If you need a lawyer and to file a lawsuit, try to get one on contingency. Contingency means that, instead of earning money by the hour, the attorney gets a portion of the money you recover. They’ll care more and your incentives will be better aligned.

Unfortunately, this is not possible in all countries. I come from Austria where this is definitely not allowed. There are probably other european countries where this is disallowed.

Thanks Herrmann, for the videos! They are really nice. I think that a lot of "business" videos are made by guys in the US. I often wonder if business advices are applicable here in Vienna. But hearing this from a guy of my own hometown makes this very valueable information.
