Not much different in Germany either.
What once was needed to buy a decent house is now merely enough for a tiny apartment.
I just recently sold one of my houses for 900k. Which I bought for 300k 25yrs ago. And it even was due for major renovations.
Well, could have. Actually sold to them for 500. Didn’t wanna be an idiot but also didn’t want to rip them off. I did nothing of value to justify that gain. And they were very happy. Still unfair…
Why? Unless you’ve got hundreds of millions or more, you’re just another poor sobbing bastard for the elite. Just a bit less poor than the others. Insignificant in everything.
Also, I paid double market-average for employees, with come-and-go-as-you-please and profit-sharing. Everyone.
I rent the houses/apts dirt-cheap. At the legally allowed minimum but with hidden added boni or paybacks or whatever else I come up with. Free power, free water etc. I don’t want to profit of someone else’s inability to own. I want to be able to look in the mirror without disgust.
And also I work for free in a shelter-thingie for abused or broken people, I help where I can.
If everyone would do that, we’d all be better off, wouldn’t we be?
What do you do to better society with the given means? Considering I’m the problem and you’re not?
Egocentrism, narcissism, missing empathy and machiavellism (so basically the dark triad) are the root sources that rot the world (while being highly rewarded), not money.
I have a friend with five. He’s a traveling physician and has five practices each at least a hundred miles away from each other. I don’t entirely see him as part of the housing problem because he has a use for these houses that isn’t vacation.
Folk are mostly friends on here, so can you ease off the attack please?

The market is broken.
“one of my houses”
