Lived in Vienna from 99-05. Had to move home because my parents and parents in law needed care. Have been depressed and desperate to get back. This is how bad it is. I went to a therapist in 06 and he told me he knew exactly how I felt because he live in almalfa for a year. I also look on google maps daily. Pathetic. I probably will be retired soon, so will my husband and we won’t have enough money to retire in Austria. We probably can only get a job teaching English and won’t make enough to live.

I lived in Kapfenberg, Steiermark in the mid 90s. One thing I have to say which is nothing to do with the economy is that although there is a lot of nature and it's very green in the summer, most of the year it is actually very dark because towns are in valleys with hills on every side. Your view is limited in most directions to less than a kilometre, and the sides of the mountains are covered in forest but when the leaves go these are black. I was only reminded of this recently when I wanted to reminisce and looked at vids of people driving through the area. I actually got depression living there and was prescribed anti-depressants. Some friends of mine from Vienna and Burgenland who worked there during the week also found it depressing and couldn't wait to leave for the weekend on Friday afternoon. On the other hand, my Styrian friends used to joke about how they thought living in Niederoesterreich would be weird as you could see when your friends are coming half an hour before they arrive, because it's flat, so they were used to this landscape. But if you're not from the hilly/mountainous region the novelty soon wears off and you quickly find it oppressive. Just throwing an idea out there and of course not everyone will agree with me. There are a lot of positive things which I miss from there too.

Not every place in Styria is like that. Kapfenberg is konwn to be one of the most depressing places in austria and loses population every year. Yes it looks nice at first but its darker then anywhere ese in austria. Its also really cold for a styrian town. And polluted(In my experience it competes with the big cities which shouldnt be the case for a town)

@@flymaneternal1333 I didn't know that Kapfenberg had that reputation in Austria lol. But Viennese friends who worked or visited there hated the place lol and said that for example Leoben was more ''menschenfreundlich'' if I remember the word correctly. I don't know about it having it's own microclimate though or looking darker than elsewhere in Styria, I mean it's practically connected to Bruck an der Mur (just drive throught the tunnel) and it's the same there. I used to go out with friends from Kapfenberg in Bruck, it was normal to go out there and not in Kapfenberg when I lived there as there were only a handful of bars in Kapfenberg, and the 2 I remember - one in the ECE downstairs and one in the Altstadt - were pretty crappy and had zero character.

@@simonh6371 It has. It originally got its population through its industry. But the ore industry crashed because theres not much iron left there. It has lost 4800 Inhabitants in the last 40 years(doesnt sound much but it has only around 22000) The same happend to all the Citys in the Mur - Mürzfurche Area. Leoben and Bruck an der MUr have gotten better and are rising in population again but Trofaiach and Kapfenberg dont. However the wors is defenitly Eisenerz. The have only 3500 Inhabitans anymore. There population has halfed in the last 25 Years. Another proplem that i havent adressed in the upper comment is that the unhappy people do now vote the far right FPÖ. Doesnt make the towns more sympathical for newcomers.

The main concern which isn't included in this video is the differents between cities and land. But I guess it boils down to the pros and cons living in cities or rural areas.

wise decision! I´ve lived in Upper Austria, Carinthia and Styria - Carinthia is the most beautiful, cos it has everything: lakes, forests, mountains basically within cycling distance - and if this isn´t enough, a 90min drive will take you to the Adriatic. where in Carinthia are you?
