Prague is a touristic city and reasonably popular with expats, its nature has changed.

It's not just the capital of Czechia anymore. Those days aren't coming back.

Same with Munich. 40 years ago it was just the capital of Bavaria, now it's an international hub.

Its nature has changed, but the NIMBY laws have changed even more. It is a veritable paper battle to get anything built in Prague now. The permit process takes about 8 years for a normal condo building.

It used to be a much faster process, even 20 years ago. It is still a much faster in some other countries. We have a lot of unused brownfields within Prague that could be home to tens of thousands of people, close to the subway ... but they are overgrown and useful to nobody, because an endless paper war is raging over them.
