News / 1.3% birth rate = Poland's slow death [221]

Hollywood's and mainstresm media anti-marriage propaganda, greed, selfishness, career obsession, narcissism (stretch-mark fear!), short-sightedness, here and now obsession or what?

Are you insinuating that people need to be more devout in order for Poles "in Poland" to start reproducing ? None of what you spewed pointed to economical reasons.

Are the other country like Ireland who have a very high birthrate, popping out kids because they are more catholic and less

Real Estate / Poland's apartment prices continue to fall [1844]

Why not have a poll on predictions for Polish real-estate prices 12 months from now and another one for 24 months from now.

so maybe part two will show higher drop, so no need to shut u p yet mr anger issues
as you said HARRY
"No major city is going to see falls in all price per sq. metre and size bands.From what I'm seeing and hearing, prices out there are very stable or actually going up"

Which has been proved to be 100% wrong.

Real Estate / Poland's apartment prices continue to fall [1844]

Seanbm do you believe that Polish apartment prices will fall to 2004 prices?

No, Maybe late 2006 prices

What is the difference in price between now and 2006?

Real Estate / Poland's apartment prices continue to fall [1844]

Poland's apartment prices keep falling

Poland's apartment prices can fall by a further 5-6% by the end of the year, the daily Rzeczpospolita writes citing real estate market analyst Jaroslaw Jedrzynski.

By the time the market reaches its trough in H2 2013 or the turn of 2013/2014, prices may fall by up to 20%, the expert says.

Returning to the prices from before the apartment boom in 2006 is, however, not possible, Katarzyna Kuniewicz from Reas consulting adds.

"All truth passes through three stages: First, it is ridiculed; Second, it is violently opposed; and Third, it is accepted as self-evident."

Life / Let`s compare prices of services and products in Poland [359]

I just came back from Sweden where everything is expensive.

Sweden performs exceptionally well in overall well-being, as shown by the fact that it ranks among the top countries in a large number of topics in the Better Life Index.

oecdbetterlifeindex.org/countries/sweden

It was a shock- it actually became a bit of a joke after the 2nd day. 30 pln for a scoop of ice cream.

the eat a lot if its expensive
1. Finland: 12.9 liters
2. Sweden: 11.5 liters
3. Norway: 11.5 liters
4. Denmark: 8.0 liters
5. Italy: 6.2 liters
6. Germany: 6.1 liters
7. France: 6.0 liters
8. Ireland: 6.0 liters
9. Greece: 5.9 liters
10: Belgium: 5.8 liters

Now the ice cream shop Glassiären is only open during the summer season and is popular mainly because of the HUGE ice cream's they serve. One scoop there is actually about four scoops. Which is why you don't order "one scoop" but "one flavor" of ice cream.

Real Estate / Poland's apartment prices continue to fall [1844]

Polish property owners have no sense. They ask high prices for rental and their flats sit empty for months. Do they lower the price? No.

there was a stagnation period, but it ended in 2010 as the facts show that Poland's housing market was Europe's second-worst performer in 2011, down by 10.55% in inflation-adjusted terms. So the argument that Poles since 2005 refuse to put down prices is at odds with the fact and simply not true. Poland is not different .

It's especially common among people who inherit flats

same in every country, I've seen granny houses rot into the ground because families refused to lower prices.
