  • This is one of the reason why I think the price of property should be regulated somehow by the government. The cost/ tax of a second house should be exponentially higher to discourage people doing this, so that a renting a second house should be a financial catastrophe. Capitalism, free market does not work, especially for basic human needs (food, shelter, health, energy, and if I may say education).

    I myself bought my house 2 years ago, and the price was already ridiculous. Let’s say I paid almost 100k€ more than the estimated worth of the house (cause of market price). I’m pretty sure the price will collapse after some time. The price can increase 30-40 percent in 3-5 years. It’s crazy. The money invested here is much higher than I did when I was renting an apartment tho.

    Sounds great! I still don’t think that a cargo bike is very safe. Especially for a baby. :(

    It definitely crosses my mind, that I’d do that if the kid is getting older. But definitely not before 2-3 years old.

    I haven’t bought a car yet. I’m still in paternal leave so I can manage to do everything. Once I start working, let’s see how well we are doing without a car. :)

    I don’t dare to bring my now 3 months old baby with bike. The weather is still "summer"y now. In winter I wouldn’t do it. I myself have fallen down from bikes at least 4 times in the last couple of years. I can’t imagine if that happens while I’m taking my baby with bike.

    Live in a not so small town in Germany. I haven’t had the need to have a car after I have been living for 9 years.

    I commute with bike to work, take public transport when it’s a farther journey.

    Until I have a daughter a couple of months ago. I realize that I really need a car. :(
