The mirage of local authorities

Municipalities want to occupy commercial sites with the highest possible quality settlements in order to optimize their trade tax revenue.

There are always reservations about logistics settlements. This leads to a shortage of space in logistics real estate, which also has fatal effects on inflation, because rising rental prices are heating up consumer prices. In addition, the necessary economic growth is limited.

The fact is that the municipalities are generally unable to meet the requirements for higher-quality settlements, because the international high potentials have very specific requirements, without which they would never move to a region:

1. english speaking kindergarten,
2. international school,
3. High-quality living environment with adequate shopping and leisure facilities,
4. international transport connections,
5. English-speaking administrations with digital offers,
6. university institutions,
7. foreigner-friendly population.

It is also a fact that production and innovation companies also requires:

1. regenerative energy sources,
2. high electrical connected loads,
3. high informational connection services as well
4. adequate water management

All municipalities that cannot or only insufficiently fulfill these 11 points should turn to logistics with a clear conscience. The availability of logistics is also the basis for the settlement of manufacturing companies in the future.

This need is very large, since the geopolitically necessary re-industrialization requires an estimated double of the previously available area potential. These warehousing processes for raw, semi-finished and finished products are currently still in China and were previously phased out in Europe due to less favorable labor costs.
