U2xU5: How a host and his locals defy the construction site mob

The article discusses the challenges faced by café owner Gert Kunze due to ongoing U-Bahn construction work in Vienna. His café, Café Kunze, has been relocated multiple times, first moving next door to Café Eiles, both owned by Kunze, and then temporarily relocating to a pop-up location in the Lenaugasse. The construction has caused significant disruptions, including noise, dust, and structural damage to his premises. Kunze expresses frustration over delays, with the project initially promised to be completed by 2027 but now expected to finish only by 2030. He also criticizes the lack of information regarding certain construction activities, such as a wall being built where his future outdoor seating area is planned. Despite these issues, he acknowledges cooperation from the Vienna Transport Authority, which has covered some repair costs.
