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

But what about the God-given right that everybody has to move into a 300-metre house as their first property?

Name me one country where this happens?? 300 metres???

that link is a complete joke when related to the Polish market.

Yes the Polish bubble was driven by foreign capital, so yes there is a difference.

is that evil developers artificially force prices far higher.

harry that's a bit harsh, 'opportunistic' perhaps would be a better word.

No-one is paying 15 times their salary for a house.

So how many times the average industrial wage is Pip's link below?

Pip this may help you with your bubble blindness

Why?, they would still be too expensive.

Well, Mr developer, I only want to know how far they went down in comparison to the last few months. Too expensive:

In The Complete Idiot's Guide to Buying and Selling A Home, Shelley O'Hara and Nancy D. Warner estimate that a buyer should plan to borrow "roughly 2 to 2-1/2 times your annual gross salary. If you and your partner make $50,000, you might be able to buy a home in the $100,000 to $125,000 range.

The cost of your home -- including taxes, maintenance and other costs -- should not exceed 28% of your monthly income.
In the UK
Generally speaking, a mortgage lender will lend you between three and four times your gross salary, although some lenders will offer you more if you're willing to pay a higher interest rate. If you're buying with a partner then they'll probably throw in the equivalent of his or her annual salary in addition to the amount they're prepared to lend you. So, if you're on £25,000 a year and he or she is on £20,000, you should be able to borrow around £120,000. Alternatively, they may lend you three times your joint income. This usually means you can raise a slightly bigger

mortgage. Using the same salary figures, you could borrow £135,000 on this basis. If you get any additional income from bonuses or commission these may be taken into account as well.

So in Poland paying 10 times your salary for a one bedroom flat, or 15 times your yearly salary for a house; could easily be described as TOO expensive.

SO

Polonia / Poles once again racially abused in the Netherlands [8]

Henk Kamp even called for jobless Poles to be deported, even though this is impossible under EU rules.

Is this not further proof of how society should not allow the industrial elite to decide on emigration policy. In boom times, the business world was crying out for cheap labor, surprise surprise, anyone who spoke against them were accused of racism or being opposed to free-market progress;or simply 'progress'.

The national boundaries of countries need to be respected as they 'exist', if you just ignore them for short term gain; well, then you will need to deal with sh1t from Kamp and camp. I think the 'right' and the 'castrated left' are both guilty in relation to the sloppy emigration laws within the EU.

Reminds me of peter Griffith and the his slogan: "If you want a nig*er for a neighbour, vote Labour"
His conservative buddies where crying out for foreigners a few years earlier to provide much needed labor in post-war Britain. I think the king made a speech asking people to come to the UK.

There is a lot of anger now as predicted,with Poles abroad, living on social welfare that his twice as a high as they would get for working in Poland. I know people need to look at things in context and with an open mind but......Joe and paddy public....open mind??

UK, Ireland / Unemployed Poles in Ireland : a crash course in milking the system [323]

Why do I have to share a country with so many illiterate, bog dwelling peasants?

Taking a view of Irish history which highlights perceived positive aspects of British influence in Ireland, or criticizing Irish nationalist rebellions
Cultural cringe: following British popular culture, while appearing embarrassed by or disdainful of aspects of Irish culture, such as the Irish language, Gaelic games or Irish traditional music

Opposition or indifference to a United Ireland (see Partitionism) or to Irish republicanism.
WESTBRIT
Going by your anger issues you sound like an unemployed castle catholic.

History / Would you classify the Poland's Communist years as a "Soviet occupation" ? [221]

Sinn Fein standing in free and fair elections doesn't fit any known definition of occupation.

Well...the native Irish, have now, got equal rights to the unionist, but they still live within an artificial state drawn up by the British to give a majority to the British Unionist living in the six counties.

So it's still occupation.
Poland was occupied by Russia; so what!! if there wasn't a gigantic Russian Army presence throughout; Did the Russian not wipe out the remainder of the elite after the Germans. To install a totalitarian regime in a headless country, doesn't require a big army after the initial invasion.

History / Would you classify the Poland's Communist years as a "Soviet occupation" ? [221]

Whether it's Roman with Stoicism/Christianity; Or Napoleonic code; Russia with Stalinist/communism;Brits with humanism; USA spreading love,peace and justice. The bottom line is occupation.

It's too obvious to occupy as an invader, always better to have some 'ism' that gives you an air altruism. -We are doing this because we love you-think of the greater good(social realism) etc etc.

Poland was occupied plain and simple, just like the north of Ireland is occupied by 'Brits' not prods.

UK, Ireland / Unemployed Poles in Ireland : a crash course in milking the system [323]

Whats all this Magda crap about.So What!!
Irish people have been doing this for decades. Poland joined the EU so they have equal rights. There is a need to change the social welfare system 100%.

I'm with Barney on this one.
We need to start jailing Bankers. And then maybe tackle the Dole thing but lets deal with the elephant in the room;and deal with the baby fly later.

Oh and Revoke;you're a disgraceful little westbrit .

Don't shoot the messenger
However, the article in my opinion is flawed in many ways. Fails to mention mortgages in Swiss Francs and the phony governments grants etc.

In a word, no. Poland is actually a pretty bad place to invest in property, and it has been since about 2006. Investors flocked to Poland in 2004 after the country joined the European Union, and it didn't take long for prices to get out of hand. The earliest investors, those who bought in 2004 and 2005, could have achieved a fantastic return on their investment if they had sold in late 2007 or early 2008, and would probably still see a tidy profit if selling now, but there is no longer any easy money to be had for new investors in a country which quickly developed a property bubble and saw it burst quicker than it came.

Did I see the word bubble there??

Real Estate / Foreign investor, properties in Poland, walk away from mortgages? [209]

The same goes to mordgage payments even though the payments go up 40% for some reason they will pay it.

I reckon no matter how bad things get, the Poles would be the last people in Europe to protest (unless it over a cross or something holy).
