That or because you're like a baby whining about little emoji. Self fulfilling profecy. (I'm kidding)

It makes sense because if you can't pay your loans, the bank will literally take your house, so it's win win for them. If you can't pay the rest of the co-op, they only get some shares of a building full of hippies 😬 gotta get rich first, then I can make my own co-op.

Yup, it's pretty disgusting when rents are allowed to increase by inflation (or more) instead of the average salaries.

Co-ops do exist, but they are so rare. I wonder how hard it is to start my. Own co-op?

Hm I don't know man. I'm not a landlord, I don't even own a home. But I see renting as a useful service. Do landlords and estate companies abuse people? Absolutely. But I don't see renting as evil per se. Buying a house/flat is a huge personal investment and risk, and I'm happy to rent for the time being until I'm ready to buy.

Hm, when I say owning a second home I don't mean building a second home. I strictly mean owning a second estate. I don't see how buying an existing estate to rent it out has anything to do with climate. It's just an investment to buy it and rent it out, even without planning on it increasing in value.

I don't think owning a second home per se is wrong or evil. Many people can't afford buying a house due to the upfront costs. But owning a second home and leaving it empty for years? Owning multiple homes to use as Airbnbs in residential areas? I really wish this was regulated. But it will never be because there's big bucks being made there.

Yes, but then I have to buy one.

How else would it work?

 
 
 

I personally been using it for almost 5 years. I heard about it from a colleague a few years before that but I forgot about it, and then an online ad reminded me to check them out again.
