Real Estate / If you own a property in Warsaw, you don't own the ground it stands on! [9]


I'd say that it is a good thing - it's their property. I'd say it is very democratic

Sure, it doesn't seem so cool if you're the guy who wants to build a road.
But on the other hand, what would you say if one day they decided that they are demolishing your house because they want to build a new road? :-D

Real Estate / Is this a bad time to buy an apartment in Poland? [142]

AFAIK apartments are indeed quite expensive. However, there are lot of detached houses that cost as much as or are cheaper than flats. Yeah, I know it sounds surprising

Real Estate / If you own a property in Warsaw, you don't own the ground it stands on! [9]

Yeah, but the situation looks a bit different when you're the person who has to move out and leave everything behind :-D
Also, don't forget that we've got quite a lot of corrupt officials and outdated laws.

For example - in the past there was just one electricity supplier and it was a state owned company. As a result, we still have quite a lot of laws that are pretty good for electricity suppliers, even though they are now all privately-owned companies. If they want they can build transformer stations on your property :-D cool, huh ?

News / RHD cars in Poland - my campaign to change the rules in Poland [128]


lol welcome to Poland dude, the situation you described is 100% normal here :-D the faster you get used to it the better for you

I'll ignore those stupid remarks about LHD being better than RHD...

Instead have a look at this:

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Countries_driving_on_the_left_or_right.svg

In case you haven't noticed Right hand traffic is not the same as a right hand car ( I see that the term is mostly used in the UK, as opposed to right hand traffic (probably because you want to think that it is right, right ? ;-) )

Majority of the world is totally wrong, only you, aussies and a few other countries are right - lol how typical...
Being different is not always a good thing, you know.
For example - gays are a minority. I hope this will help you understand why driving on the left is gay :-D

lol that was a somewhat far-fetched analogy, but at least you get the idea ;-)

Somehow I get the impression that you all hate those 'farmers' just because you're not in their shoes. Buy a couple of acres of land and then you can let others build a road through your property and so on

If it your not land then either buy it or STFU...
