Now that is something this sign would still be good at

The French makes this funnier

Ich bin ein bisschen außer dem Bild – was ist der 38C3-Event?

I second this person’s advice

Primary Residence: Hosts can only list their primary residence—the home where they live for at least six months of the year—as a short-term rental. Registration: A mandatory registration process with the city includes obtaining a Home-sharing permit and paying an annual $89 fee. Hosts must renew this permit and provide evidence of continuous compliance. Annual Cap: Short-term rentals are subject to a 120-day annual cap.

Actually, this is impressive. LA seems to have it’s shit together on this issue. Do you know if house prices are still a problem there?

I definitely do fear something like that happening. Still, how would you explain the 30 years under capitalism when it was working fine? Why didn’t the capitalists swoop in in year 1 (or 15)?

Agreed

only allow renting out the primary residence on AirBnB.

Yes this sounds like a good (and importantly very simple) rule

That is certainly a good point

Haha XD You mean Dr Nefario, or Gru?

Lol. At least a step in the right direction I guess. They should make it decrease by 100 each year

Agreed. We are sorely missing an honest and reliable source of news about China.

Enjoy ;-)

So do most people here in Czechia. We have had capitalism for 35 years and for the first 30 house prices were stable and affordable (with no large municipal sector). Something has happened within the last 5 years and I’d like to know if it’s the same cause as in the other countries and how it can be reversed.

Trailer parks have the same problem as suburbs of being super low density. They should stack the trailers on top of each other to save space.

Edit: ok I guess what I’m suggesting are those builders’ prefabs

Ooh I watched this when it was released. So essentially vast municipal ownership. Definitely something I can get behind but it takes decades.

You make a very important point about life which I realized recently: that things are not necessarily better/worse, just ‘different’.

the increased housing supply has kept private rents very affordable too.

This is very good.

Do you know if Austria had an Ireland-style house price problem before they did this (ie. would it halt the crisis in Ireland now), or is it more that it just prevented the crisis we see in surrounding countries from happening in Austria in the first place?

Also, hasn’t it been demonstrated that the government directly deciding the allocation of resources leads to massively clumsy solutions? I’m surprised it hasn’t impeded Singapore’s renowned efficiency.

Fascinating. I didn’t expect a country known for neoliberalism like Singapore to have fully nationalised land ownership (haven’t read the whole wiki article admittedly)
