Such a bummer, now I still have to contradict my intention and respond to you – but first, it’s meant to be balancing.
If my post comes across to you as strange and also presumptuous, I can understand you. However, I quoted the OP and deliberately used his words in my post.
Ok, that really didn’t come across that way to me at all, just like this:
I have no own standard regarding savings rates. I just summarized with my sentence what the previous posters generally criticized
… because from “What is criticized here, if at all, is your intended savings rate.” I read “What is (rightfully) criticized here, if at all…”. So sincere apologies if I was wrong to you on that point.
Yep! The whole thing is based on what the OP wrote. Here, I have highlighted in bold what my words are based on. It is not my style and language use to speak of nouveau riche.
Ok, if that’s what you took from “
And people who could afford it without risk themselves have to compete together with all the nouveau riche and the heirs on the free market for the few plots of land.” that’s understandable. I, for example, read an exclusion from “
have to compete together with all the nouveau riche and the heirs”, because otherwise he would have to be nouveau riche and heir himself. I would have understood that part the way you did if it had said: “
have to compete together with all the (other) nouveau riche and the heirs” But whatever, those are nuances which don’t matter much, since obviously we understood it totally differently and therefore probably misunderstood each other. I’d file that under “can happen”… agreed?
Therefore, I also stand by my opinion that the OP sees himself as a victim, he speaks of punishment and he sees himself treated unfairly,
I can understand your conclusion based on the quoted wording, even if I don’t share it. I did not perceive the OP as a whining victim, but as very dissatisfied and disappointed about the deadlocked situation. Maybe I feel that way because I have been in the situation myself – and simply got lucky with my plot and was also close to despair…
although he obviously is in a situation that makes it possible for him to get a plot without subsidies like this local resident model.
I haven’t crossed that bridge yet, but I don’t have to In my view, the conclusion falls short, because he can’t actually do it, since the “nouveau riche” (to whom he doesn’t belong) have even more money and thus drive up sqm prices that even academics have trouble affording. But a few differing opinions are still allowed
Apparently, the clocks tick differently in and around Munich than in the north – here there are always some for sale…
Yes, there is some truth to that. I was born in the north, meaning I know quite a few from old circles of friends and family who have built or are building. It’s definitely more tense here in the south. As I said, I’ve been searching for 4 years, got a rather small plot with a lot of luck. Meanwhile my sister built in Salzhausen near Hamburg. No plot under 800 sqm in the new development area, purchase price under 100k… for that purchase price here (to exaggerate) I would have just gotten the driveway…
