That public vote came after the election....where the theme was the Greens would stop the whole thing. So the crowd jumps on this Green enthusiasm, and clobber the 21-project.
So they win, and instead of taking charge...they suggest a ballot measure. Sixty days later, the vote goes to the opposite direction. Total shock. Everything is still on track.
Personally, if you were looking at any German city which is gearing up for expansion in the 2020-2025 period.....Stuttgart should be number one for business and growth.
Lots of building going on here. Residential as well as commercial.
