Real Estate / Is there a Real Estate bubble in Krakow? [60]

Hello,
I find that the developers will have to pull out the finger and finish the builds, it is a **** take at the moment, buying a place and having to finish it yourself. I have recently seen two story houses being sold without stairs... greedy bastards. I think the prices will stay the same for the next while but you will get more for your money. A finished product is cheaper if the developer does it, (buy in bulk and negotiate a better price with the fitters on mass).

I also see a massive change in what is on the market, from small apartments in blocks to houses, seems to be the new trend and why wouldn't it be, 50 square metre flat 15 mins from Krakow or a 120 metre flat 15 mins in the other direction from Krakow costing the same, it is a nobrainer. Still these roads need to be renovated, which they are in the process of doing, so it might take a little while longer before people see the benefits.

I do not believe that foreigners pushed up the prices so much here either, other countries that had a false economy (foreigners pushing up the prices) are now really feeling the brunt of the burst bubble.

Something else to consider is all the money poured into Poland form Poles working abroad.

History / POLAND: EASTERN or CENTRAL European country? [1080]

Jeezz lads do youz not know where youz are? ha ha ha.
isn't the centre of Europe in Lithuania, they have a monument and all, that'd make Poland western.

Even at best Wikipedia is saying it is Suchowola, north of Białystok, in north-eastern Poland; and Toruń in the northern part of central Poland, that makes most of Poland south west.

Jeezz where am I???

Life / Poles are not racist [873]

We are family.

I am very happy that you think Polish people are not racist.
Some Polish must be racist, no?
I just think that sweeping statements are never true, I mean if you said that, of all the Polish people you met non were racist, that would be fine, but you say no Polish are racist, there is an assumption that you know all Polish people.

In fact there is something merriam-webster.com/dictionary/racist

1 : a belief that race is the primary determinant of human traits and capacities and that racial differences produce an inherent superiority of a particular race

so you are actually being racist (not negative) about Polish people.

Life / Poles are not racist [873]

I am not racist, I hate everyone, equally.
I happen to think everyone is racist, we judge people, of course it does not go as far as slavery or genocide, does it?
I also think there are not enough nonPolish in Poland for me to see how racist Poles are, but I have had no personal bad experiences in Poland because I am Irish.

Law / EU grants to small business in Poland-advice needed [27]

Hello ss13,

What kind of things did they get a grant for?
I know people who have got grants for studies all over Europe, but nobody for business.
It is of course interesting for people setting up their own company that might get some extra help.

Best regards

History / "Poland's Concentration Camp" ?? [570]

I might have it all wrong but isn't Judaism just another religion that anyone can join ? you people seem to be to literal in your obsessions.

every step we take we must gain, hold in the pressure, releasing the pain.
there are good and bad people everywhere.
Let he who has not sinned cast the first stone.
There are many accounts in my Irish history of Irish landlords being worse than the brits.
Use your own common sense

UK, Ireland / I have concerns over the British immigration policy so I wrote to my MP. [126]

I just want a more level playing field rather than what we have at the moment which is all stacked in favour everyone but the British.

I disagree with your opinion, we are now the European Union, all people should have the right to move freely around and work. The days of the "british empire" are gone. Britain for brits, is what it sounds like you are saying, of course you will let a chosen few, who suit your needs to enter the country, god knows there are toilets to be cleaned. Thank goodness your government have the sence to join.

This same bull opinion has been coming from some brits for ever, it used to be about Irish people going to England now it's the Poles, it is time to stop sounding like a broken record and get with it, you must think about things in a boarder European sence, if not all our country's will fall behind.

I'm tried of tossers like you who jump to conclusions about what people are thinking.

Without posting your letter, people are bound to jump to conclusions and name calling does not help.

UK, Ireland / I have concerns over the British immigration policy so I wrote to my MP. [126]

I'm not coming at this from the "bl**dy foreigner" angle and I welcome the diversity and the differences. No problem with that at all. It's the sheer volume that I have difficulty with. Immigration is fine, but it has to be managed.

Why have you not posted your alleged letter on this forum?,
If you are not coming from the "bloody foreigners angle", who should be aloud in to "your country" and who should decide on what criteria?

what do you do with the people who are already there and do not fit into your management of these people?

with freedom comes responsibility

I could not agree more, but you are suggesting, in some form not yet specified to "manage" The volume of immigrants , so some will fill your criteria and others will not, whose freedom are you talking about?

This some problem has alwayscexisted before in England, I really hope that in the near future that history will not repeat itself and there will not be "No Polish need apply" signs hanging up.

Europe has changed and it will take more time for things to balance out. I Hope you (or anyone else) can put forward constructive ways of Managing immigrants, I just can't see a way that would not restrict people in our free Europe.

Bloody foreigners going to England, taking the jobs they don't want to do, upping the national I.Q., importing fit women, supporting the economy, bring cultural diversity and tolerance and then complaining on a Polish forum that the English don't want them.

This is in NO WAY a new complaint for the English,
I am certainly not speaking about all English people, most are very good people, but the empty vessels make the most noise.

I'm trying to be constructive.

I do not see anything remotely constructive about any of your comments on this thread?
Why didn't you post your letter?
what response did you expect to get out of posting on a POLISH FORUM about your supposed letter?
About your decent immigration policy, would you choose to take only qualified Poles for specific job vacancies? I am not an expert on cleaning toilets, working in factories or babysitting but I did not realise it needed a masters?

We do not live in a fascist regime people have the right to travel. England is an Island in many senses.
Do what the americans do for mexico, build a wall. Or even better cop on.
Only the very safe can talk about right and wrong

News / Polish Immigrants Leave America for Europe [210]

North Americans are Polish, Irish, Spanish etc...
Our American cousins want to come home, great!
Before in Ireland,North America had the idea of the land of milk and honey (I assume communist Poland had the same idea?), where a poor man could be sucessful with the right idea. Lately however it has all gone belly up, for many reasons and Europe has (hopefully) shifted from petty disputes about lines drawn in the dirt to something a little more progressive, we have miles to go yet but North America is on the way down and The United states of Europe on the way up.

U.S.A bashing is a pass time I find most Europeans love, But you know what your man said, there is only one thing worse than being talked about, that is not being talked about.
