Real Estate / Residential real estate values go down in Poland [455]

so you're in the ridiculous situation where people in their 50's had very cheap property, while people in their mid 20's are now paying much more than they need to, simply because the older generation have priced them out of the market.

How much is 'much more than they need to'?

For all its failings the capitalist system does a fairly reasonable of allocating resources and matching supply & demand.

Your subjective value judgement is exposed for what is- a Utopian dream of how things should be 'fair'.

Do they teach Brits any basic economics at school?

Gustav: For all its failings the capitalist system does a fairly reasonable of allocating resources and matching supply & demand.
Unfortunately it doesn't, given the number of empty flats and the low wage level in relation to prices.

Note the use of 'fairly reasonable' and 'not perfect'

Gustav: How much is 'much more than they need to'?

If it wasn't for the massive social transfers, prices would undoubtably be lower. That much is obvious

Your statements about the level of prices is a subjective opinion, plain simple. Waste of time trying to dress it up as some sort of prevailing wisdom.

The stuff about the housing giveaway is interesting but it is trying to solve a 1989 problem with a 2012 answer. At the time what was the market rate ? Even now it takes about a month to get a bank loan and a notary sorted - try fixing a price when inflation is 250% per year ? How would the state have paid for the upkeep of those buildings if it held onto them ? the state was bankrupt at the time.

Here we see the difference between a know-it all English teacher and CMS who seems to be someone in the finance trade.

News / Communist era 'newspeak' appeals the most to Poland PiS supporters (what a surprise) [89]

It's what I (and others) have been saying all along - that PiS supporters, brainwashed by years of Communism, are seduced by such languag

Your crusade against anyone who disagrees with your neo-liberal agenda is extraordinary and slightly comedic.

I mean 'anything-goes' liberalism has been such a success in Britain, right?

What's even more amusing is watching all the PiS supporters go on the attack instead of talking about the topic. Par for the course, and nothing surprising.

Who did you vote for in last year's general election?

Oops that's right your a opinionated Brit who can't even debate with any politician in the language of our country :)

No, we don't support PiS, we simply disagree with your arrogant, know it all attitude. The very man who claims to be a political expert is one who can't even hold a political debate in the language of our land!!!!

Among the uneducated US Polonia - yes.

All we know from this thread is as before-

->your absolute hatred for US Polonia
->your obsession against PiS, anyone who disagrees with you is a default PiS supporter!

We know your vile opinions already...thanks.
