OTOH that doesn't mean that the typical person will rent a place when they first move out on their own and stay there for the next 50 years, either.
most people don't stay in the same house for the next 50 year.  Many people I know move every year or two.  Yet, I still consider that "permanent" housing.

I wouldn't consider a shoebox livable permanent housing.

It's funny watching the inhabitants of third-world shitholes act like this is normal.

Well, Quebec is pretty bad, but I was thinking Mono and Marti.  I replied from page 1.

Do we have any Languishites from Paris?

At any rate, those places are inferior to places in North America.  It is known.

136 sq.ft.   :hmm:

or $1100-1200 per sq.ft.

That's fucking obscene.

I mean, it's cute and all, and I get the whole quaint-and-artisanic chic look and whatnot of Euro apartments, where it's like you're trapped forever in some sort of Audrey Hepburn movie circa 1959, but those prices are just fucking silly.

You people are nuts.

Only other bit I see is that it is fairly close to the beach...

I don't get it. Are we really running out of land so badly as a civilization that we're forced to cram people into egg cartons like this? It just seems skewed to me.

And make them pay a hundred thousand Pounds for it too...

In certain areas, its either that or force people to live in large homes, but cram them into even smaller egg cartons for very lengthy commutes.

I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

Raz is right. -MadImmortalMan March of 2017

I don't know. I mean it doesn't even really have to be that way here in NYC.

nice try, but we didn't act like this is normal.
