Where is this guy riding, needing repair kits but also high-tech helmet, lights and vests?
Who cares about scratches on the outside?
And you don’t see a problem with treating shelter as an investment?
Morally wrong, yes. But sadly normal…
Fuck no, swearing is great, especially in my native language
What do you mean with “competitive”? Really anything with competition or just like major league/television/huge money etc.?
Why ask then haha
Give us some examples
Wait, do I understand correctly that in your place, the buy-in costs are roughly a third of the value (insured value or similar) of the appartment?
The financial system is failing since decades, maybe we need to make bigger changes
If the Tenants are really such victims they should just get together buy the property out.
If they could do that, they could probably buy a better place and wouldn’t have to live there.
I had to rant in a couple of comments because I drives me crazy when people defend leeching.
On a more constructive note: Housing cooperatives. I think they should be more widespread. Some people come together to build a house and then live in it for the cost it takes to actually support it. No crazy big apartments with a reasonable amount of people (roughly one bedroom per person), shared luxury such as gardens, in house shops, hell even a pool if you want. There is no leeching, just collective ownership.
the land couldn’t be used for housing
why not?
But generally yes, garages are less of a problem. But there is no ethical renting (under capitalism).
Are those parasites too?
Yes?
retirement/investment
Probably also parasitic
How do you live alone in a fucking house?
I could see it the other way. I wanted to build a pauper deck since some time, but going through my bulk is just too painful. This way I would at least know which cards I have. Finding them is another story though… But generally having a nice overview of your collection without having to manually add each card would be cool
