At the time, by a majority consisting of the CDU, the FDP, agreed in the city Council of the PDS, the citizens group and a SPD the city Council for the sale to the American invest company Fortress Share.

For 1.7 billion euros 48,000 apartments changed hands. Fortress took on the debt of the Woba and paid 982 million euros to the city. This was a blow to debt-free. Previously, there had been discussions about a social clear – cutting, if Dresden entschulde, but also on the impact of the sale of the Woba. The subsequent Left-hand atomizer ride about in such a way that the city Council group split. Later, it became clear that the sale was a flat bad political decision.

In the First Republic, the Vienna "Austro-Marxists had placed" attention to the improvement of the living conditions.

Until 1934, 65000 municipality were built apartments of high architectural quality "castles of the proletariat" – is financed by taxes on luxury goods, house staff, and Property. After 1945, the housing was continued by the municipality of Vienna, if not more so militant financing.

Today, a third of the 1.9 million population of Vienna lives on buildings in the parish, another third in the city of subsidized apartments built by non-profit cooperatives.
