Many people also don't know that Vienna was isolated and divided for nearly 50 years during the cold war. A significant amount of the available housing is due to Vienna having a bad economy for almost a century.

The reason "many people dont know" about that is that it didnt happen.

Berlin was divided.

Like Berlin, Vienna had occupation zones, but there was never a wall between them.

Huh? I thought that Vienna's partition period following WWII lasted more like ten years than sixty.
