Leipzig project

In Leipzig whole houses are up for grabs for relatively little money.

The idea is to buy into one or more of the buildings and open them up for sharing.

Aim
The approach is to enable friends to buy an apartment with one thousand five hundred euros.( 1500€ )

The cost for the purchase of an apartment is 6000 euros. We can get 3/4 in credit. ( details below )

The first step for me is to buy a 100 000 euro building in Leipzig with the money of an acquaintance who is willing to invest.

With this initial building - which we do not own, but can use for free -, I want to invite friends to come and live there without paying rent, enabling them to save for one year, till they reach the 1500 euros needed to purchase their own apartment.

Ultimately the aim is larger : it is to support a local economy, our own food production, our own small manufacturing, consulting, etc - in the form of cooperatives, while supporting alternative complementary currencies, through an approach which increases local autonomy and reduces the payment of capitalist rent / speculation on the long term.

Ideal Situation
Characteristics I believe important for setting up a base for a post industrial project in Leipzig are :

walk ) purchased for post-manufacturing lively neighborhood, including school and former "church" building ( for the atmosphere :) ) constructible land, to build our own construction, ? industrial ? ) architectural spaces, such as a "gasometer"
 * being situated next to a S Bahn stop ( or not more then 5 to 10 minute
 * being situated within a 10 minute biking radius from the centre, or from University
 * being situated nearby greenery
 * being situated nearby gardening allotments
 * being situated nearby declined industrial buildings which could be
 * having a unique looking architecture / building
 * having a potential for the development of a diversified
 * having access to a garden and to a view
 * being in a calm neighborhood
 * additionally, I imagine it can be considered to look into vacant
 * or to find ways of enabling modular construction within existing ( declined

Ownership / Usership
http://sharewiki.org/en/Leipzig_Usership

possibly in combination with

Syndikat

also see :

http://p2pfoundation.net/A_Cooperative_Housing_Usership_Design

Prices of Buildings
A 5 story building (1910 buildings?) costs :
 * around 50.000 euro to purchase in an emerging western neighborhood of Leipzig.
 * 20 to 30.000 euro to purchase in a rather empty centre east neighborhood of Leipzig.

Anthony says :

"it's true that some buildings in Leipzig are being sold for 30k€. But some of these require 30k€ of repairs. It's important to visit the buildings with an engineer to determine the move-in cost. Also, count on 6% to 12% in legal fees."

Dante prefers to buy a whole street, or neighborhood, in the cheaper areas of town

BUT

The empty streets in the centre-east part of Leipzig might still be owned in great part by the former GDR Housing Cooperative (currently under city authority?), although there are also privately owned buildings for sale.

It might require a re-development plan to present to the local authorities to create an opportunity to get one of the streets out of what might be a current market hoarding of these streets from the housing cooperative. - needs to be verified!

Anthony says:

"The LWB (former DDR housing authority) does own many buildings in Leipzig. They are trying (with DDR efficiency) to sell them. When I first started talking to them, I did not speak German, and they were very patient and helpful. It was a positive experience every step of the way."

Renovation Costs
to evaluate - Dante is interested in the possibility to set up cooperative business for building modular interior structures ?

Funding
Funding is possible through, for example, a legal framework such as Syndikat, potentially leading to a 3/4 credit from an "ethical" bank, with little interest. For a 20.000 euro, 5 story building, this would represent an initial cash investment of 5000 euro for the purchase of one building.


 * It would be way better to mobilize "direct credits" (people who lend us money) then approaching bank. (Fabzgy)

Legal Frameworks
info book on legal frameworks : Rechtsformen für Wohnprojekte http://www.stiftung-trias.de/infomaterial.html

Purchasing Examples
For example, to buy a five floor, 600 square meter building, at the cost of 60 000 euros, it may be possible to divide it in 10 flats of 50 square meters.

The purchase of one flat then is 6000 euros, for which a 3/4 credit is possible, hence 1500 euros cash needed to buy a flat.

To pay off the credit, at no interest,

one can symbolically imagine that it costs "1 euro a day, for 11 years, 11 months and 11 days"

or

"11 euros a day, for 1 year, 1 month and 1 day"

after which it is fully your property, although I would opt for the set up of a cooperative structure of property and governance of the properties, enabling "usership" shares.

Another important point being to set up legal frameworks that enable limited liability and a fund to enable shares to remain within the cooperative structure in case of personal defaults to a loan.

Alternative Non-Central Bank Money Purchase
See :

http://p2pfoundation.net/Cooperative_Housing_Usership_Design

Model for Viagere Purchase and Rent :

http://commoning.com/wiki/Viagere ( dead link )

Create housing commons without requiring national/central bank currencies.

Approach :

Purchase Usufruct and Property via a contract in "Viagere" / "Reverse Mortgage Pension" paid in "Rent Usufruct Units" in exchange of "Care Service Hours".

http://commoning.com/wiki/Talk:Viagere ( dead link )

"avoid capitalist wage slavery by finding a solution with people that already paid off their loans."

Mutual credit with trusted routing, and/or Asymmetric exchange ?

Living Costs and Taxes
Robrecht asks :

"concerning the Leipzig project, we need an estimation of living costs (in the first stage), so how much is the yearly tax on a building, other costs like for waste water etc, energy and heating etc of course we want to be self suporting cc energy etc, but in a first period this would maybe not at once be possible."

Anthony answers :

"The annual tax on the GS-10 is a couple hundred euro and the water is about the same."

Alternative Purchasing Model
Dante is interested in considering the potential to ask current owners to allow us to buy shares of the buildings progressively, without requiring to take a bank loan.

Such contract with a owner would lead to the current owner transferring the property to a legal structure we set up ( a cooperative or Gmbh ), and then owning all the shares, but enabling us to buy over the shares progressively, at a fixed price.

Leipzig as "Back to the Land Hub"
The idea is to create a urban convergence space for people living an alternative, "back to the land" lifestyle, living around Leipzig,

and providing infrastructure and opportunities supporting logistics related to people living a "back to the land" lifestyle in the surroundings of Leipzig.

"Festival is the self-management and self-design of our own leisure time and space, the realization of what we need to live and evolve as a species, with the most minimal harm to any other species. Festival is a way of doing business that respects people, communities, and the ecology. Festival balances stakeholder interests in the future generation (stakeholders include workers, managers, owners, investors, customers, local communities, future generations, and the ecosystem)."

Income Streams & Local Economy
Ideally (according to Dante), developing "resilient communities" through setting up our own (open cooperative?) production infrastructures, from food to potentially micro-electronics, and potentially inspired by other projects such as "Open Source Ecology" such as "Factor E-Farm".

Cooperative Ecology Project
Alex Rollin is collecting information about cooperative approaches for community living using P2P methods. On the P2P Foundation wiki you can find a wealth of resources that are related to how free/libre voluntary networks and federations operate, along with examples and a gigantic category of resources and operations related to the commons.

Leipzig is a great inspiration for collecting together and co-editing foundational resources because the gift of Leipzig is hope; hope that a large scale project can work, if for no other reason than the buy in prices are low enough to be realistic. If this is all becoming more realistic, then the question turns to 'how do we do this?'

http://p2pfoundation.net/Cooperative_Ecology_Project

The Cooperative Ecology Project is a terrible name, but I hadn't thought of a better one. It's a functional description for a set of tools allowing a wide number of cooperative enterprises to establish a network that can insure survival in a hybrid economic atmosphere where profit and capitalism still exist.

Additional supporting research is being published on the P2P Foundation wiki, including the recent addition of a page on Peer-to-Peer in Multi-Unit Housing.

Alternative Finance
Dante feels that there is potential in supporting local economics through complementary currencies. To start with, mutual credit, or demurrage types of currencies, which can eventually be guaranteed through a reserve of euros, or guaranteed by production.

Local economics could trade outside of their economies, which could increase the reserve of euros that can also be used to buy products outside of the local economic production, especially to build up local production infrastructures.

"The City Tunnel of Leipzig is the last and central component of the railway system restructuring process in Greater Leipzig. Not only the suburban train system can be restructured after the tunnel has been put into operation but also the traffic connections between the region and the City will be improved and give major impetus to the development of the City’s traffic system."

"The City Tunnel consists of two single-track tunnel tubes constructed by way of shield driving. Length of each tunnel tube 1,438 m."

"Construction of four underground stations, open cut: Leipzig Hbf (Leipzig main rail Station), Markt (Market), Wilhelm-Leuschner-Platz (Wilhelm-Leuschner Place), Bayerischer Bahnhof (Bavarian Station)"

Suggested Neighbourhoods
expensive ones:

Südvorstadt (south)

schleussig ( centre, between plagwitz and sudvorstadt, near park - yuppie )

connewitz ( south )

becoming expensive:

lindenau

plagwitz here are alot of old factory structures, which are constructed into living apartements. Could be interesting for you. But i suspect that it is to late for getting some cheap places there.

cheaper ones :

neustadt ( eisenbahn strasse ) - east

Stötteritz - east

nationalist presence - slow gentrification :

reutnitz - east Edit: the nationalist have a new political centre opened near lindenauer markt in lindenau. most of them moved from Reudnitz to Lindenau and they try to build up a new structure their. The gentrification is actually in lindenau very obvious. There are alot of deprived people, but also there is growing an artist and alternative community. thats why it is becoming expensive, but not the whole neighbourhood, only a few quarters. Lindenau is big and there are also many cheap corners.

Don´t be afraid of nationalists in leipzig. Here are alot more left wing people and only a few nationalists, that doesn´t count. The situation IN leipzig is much more different to the situation in the suburbs.
