I guess a free soap opera is the one upside.

I knew a guy who lived on a new build estate. His neighbours complained about his snoring. They were both in detached houses.

The most bizarre thing is that what was once thought of as shit social housing is actually vastly more liveable than what's billed as an exciting modern executive luxury new build development.

A 1930s council house is rock solid and bursting with space and storage.

I used to live in a 19th century Glasgow tenement which was a flat out slum when built. Now the space is beyond the height of luxury.

Haha!

I was looking at living costs in The Philippines earlier. I thought about nutildah (no homo) & had a little look.

It’s so fucking cheap.

I refuse to move anywhere sweaty. And though I don't know how sweaty it is there it's certainly close enough to other places filled with people sweating to raise my suspicions to Defcon 1.

I could buy a rotating army of small Filipinos to sit in fridges and then run out and press themselves against me until they warm up, but I think I'd rather stay put and incur a bit more expense.


I was just there for three weeks recently. The cost of many goods is higher than the US. So unprepared food, unless you buy in-season produce, will cost a little more. However, services are so cheap they're almost free. So the cost of prepared food will be much cheaper.

I can't emphasize how cheap human labor is there. I had a manicure-pedicure for $3 (my wife insisted). An excellent haircut for $1.20. Massages are around $4-$5 per hour. We had a couple plumbers doing repairs on my wife's house (no sexual innuendo) for about 1.5 days, and it was $35, including parts. So, services are all basically 5%-10% of the cost here.

Very sweaty when you leave an air conditioned space, however.

I want to upgrade at some point to house from my tiny flat. But all 'houses' that are available are the ones in the plethora of out of town estates. It makes be want to vomit to event drive on to one, let alone buy one.

We'll always have a bed for you in Jaywick as I assume that most on this thread will now be moving there.

It will likely be a mattress in a puddle though.

It's a confirmed no then.

The human labour thing is pretty interesting, especially if goods are little or no cheaper. I don't get how economies like that work. They probably don't.

I can't really remember the last time I required anyone else's time. I guess I could rent someone with really long hair to flop it over me and shuffle behind and that'll be cheaper than a wig so make the move worthwhile.

How long you going to let the new poll run, infofront?  Until the next ATH is reached?  This one could take a while, unless you are amongst the super-optimistic here - which still might be late 2020, at best, no?  and probably mid-to-late 2021, more realistically.

   In other words, we have to get passed our ATH first.. and then figure out how many corrections there might be along the way to a new ATH  - assuming we get a new ATH - unlike the naysayer first answer.

Social housing in the UK has always had regulations, like minimum room size requirements.  

New private builds have no such crazy and outdated rules.  So you can have what are effectively broom cupboards that are described as single bedrooms, even though you can only get a single mattress in there if it's placed vertically.

Basically you can't afford to be poor in the UK. That is if you want to buy a home with an actual decent horizontal bedroom with enough room for a shag in.

I have been to a local Bitcoin meet-up this evening.
Host/Valet: Giacomo Zucco
Special Guest: Saifedean Ammous.
I think you know the guy.



Best quote of the night:

Quote from: “Saifedean Ammous”
“The most subversive thing you can to with bitcoin is saving”

 ❤ï¸#nohomo

That was great!

Edit: the concept has been told a few times:

I’m really not happy at the thought of paying 20%, that sucks man. Why should I pay so much money when the majority of my coins were bought for so little.

The government does not deserve to take so much from us.

It is what it is. I priced it in from the off. And it can be much, much worse in other places. Ireland's 33% I think.

If I change my mind I have my eyes on this palace - https://www.rightmove.co.uk/overseas-property/property-88276847.html?currencyCode=GBP  but need to get my skates on before going abroad results in gammons stoning you to death.

Hey, I'm a doer upper.

And I'm researching floating buildings so I may as well start with a disposable one.

Haha!

It’s so fucking cheap.

You can buy apartments in Japan for $100.  The only downside is you have to live in a massive, completely empty apartment building by yourself and it’s freaky as fuck.  

People buy them to use as ski lodges 1 week per year.  

You can buy freestanding 4 bedroom houses for $10k and rent them out to gringos for $2k per week.

That's sheer genius!  Hey, you know what - I think Boris Johnson is looking for a new housing minister with bright new ideas. 

Actually, maybe don't apply - he would probably take it seriously and make it gov. policy
