Damn, caught.


You could also build rental apartments on it. And those moving into the single-family house usually free up another apartment.

Exactly, that is certainly more social.
Expensive rental apartments improve the housing situation, of course. See (fail) Berlin.

It's slowly getting on my nerves that you have to justify yourself for everything in this weird society.

At least provide some entertainment...

And the rents would be affordable for the financially lower class? Certainly not, as long as a profit is to be made.
Again: those who can afford a house do not compete in the housing market with the people who urgently need housing.

Not for everything. But for the things that unnecessarily and disproportionately burden the general public, justification is not bad, I think. Unfortunately, this means that the privileged have to get off their high horse for a moment and look at how they actually live. A mirror held up to the face is rather unpleasant for most.

I don't consider myself privileged; I have never been given or inherited anything in life.
I live relatively well, but I also work for it.
Well, at the moment not so much because of short-time work, so there is less money.
On top of that, shift work; ask me where I was on Christmas Eve? Or where I will be tonight and tomorrow night.

I've moved countless times because of work,
away from beautiful SH, currently in NRW (makes me sick).

And then I have to justify that I want to realize our dream of going back to the coast and "hoard" a plot of land for it.
Or that I want to go on vacation, yes, also by plane.
But we also sail a lot, and that's definitely environmentally friendly, or not?
After all, we do pollute all the water...

And then there was the SUV...

"High horse" doesn't work; I can't ride.

I, evil capitalist.
Regards Olli

Here speaks the arrogance of the privileged: you have a job where you work and are accordingly paid. That is certainly not the case for the majority of working people. You simply have tailwind for your effort due to gender, place of birth, cultural conditions, and a few other complex factors. Very few have that, even in this country.
The same old tune: I work (hard), so I also allow myself to do well, only works because others who work just as hard or even harder do not get an equally large piece of the pie. The pie cannot be divided into two pieces each larger than half. And apparently, you have grabbed and received the larger half. Good for you. It would be good for the (surrounding) world if you were aware of that and accordingly walked humbly through the world.
Therefore, one does not have to feel bad, one does not have to forgo all luxury.
Giving up the flat "I work hard" thinking would already be a great gain.

Sorry, I am a bit sensitive about this. I work in a highly qualified but low-paid/exploitative job (health sector!) and I lack the imagination of what people mean when they say they "work hard." Is it about the number of hours (anyone in healthcare can easily put in those too), is it about responsibility? (anyone in healthcare can tell you something about that too). Is it about physical effort? (most healthcare workers can also say something about that), is it about emotional strain (most, including myself, can certainly tell stories from their own experience).

So, the "hard-working" story is nonsense and is simply perpetuated by culture and society. It certainly has no substance.
