quote:

Buying a home is twice as expensive as it was in the 1990s, with home owners now spending nine times their average salary on a property, Rabobank economists have told the Telegraaf.

In the 1990s, an average home cost four to five times the average salary, the paper said. House prices have risen much more than salaries, meaning home owners have to spend a bigger chunk of their life’s earnings on a property. ‘Home ownership may be considered normal but it is not necessarily an option for the man in the street any more,’ economist Nic Vrieselaar told the paper.

Research by Calcasa earlier this year showed that nine in 10 houses in the Netherlands out of reach to people earning the average income of €36,000 and who are without assets or a property to sell. Some 60% of the homes on the market are an option for people earning €5,000, the property research group said.

Earlier this year, real estate broker Knight Frank found house prices in Amsterdam have outstripped incomes faster than in any other global city in the last five years. In the five-year period to September 2018 homes in the Dutch capital grew in value by 63.6%, even though incomes rose by just 4.4%.

Surely the Dutch government will do something about this...

the good news is that Wilders may not be as relevant in the dutch political system as previously thought. the bad news is that Thierry Baudet stands to gain from that and he gives me serious serial killer vibes. also he thinks the French Revolution was a mistake

welp Poland's probably hosed in their upcoming elections. also, they're almost single-handedly delaying an EU wide carbon deal. Poland may possibly play ball in exchange for having Brussels turn the other way as they neuter their judicial system

CDS: Yes? Hi we got our asses handed to us on a recent election, and are currently being screamed at by the press for siding with a healthcare proposal that was there to address stuff like a case of a baby that needed heavy crowdfunding for the world's most expensive medicine, even tho we sided with that because anyone who knows the english language can just print out the results for gofundme healthcares and hurl it at our heads any time we propose to "liberalize" it.
"The right is dying in Portugal! Do something!"
CDS: Huh I guess I could do the thing I did in 2017 which was to shame the current government for not a quick enough response to the fires
"No one is dead even if we tried to convince people in 2018 that taking old people who were walking into live fires was populism and government hysterics."
CDS: Ok how about we do a law on whistleblowers that specifically singles out like, actual dangerous whistleblowing so the only whistleblowing you can do is either pro-cop or pro-military and that doesn't shame let's say, major sports teams.

Its not farmers that planted the eucalyptus.
Unless you consider navigator and Portucel farmers.
Maybe this whole profit motive that had us wholesale rip up century old oaks and olive trees and replace them by eucalyptus and pine is a bad idea.

I was being sarcastic, but there's a class struggle component where people from the inner country are subject to having scrap off however they can, and a tendency to focus on simple targets to blame for wildfires. People now bemoan eucalyptus while failing to consider why they were planted in the first place and expect to the few remaining people in the villages to "clean the woods".

Eucalyptus trees are hilarious if it gets hot enough they literally explode

which causes surrounding trees to explode








and that's how brushfires happen

they're a paper making company here, and between the late 60's to 80's(?) there was a big push to plant more eucalyptus because of fast growing they are. a lot of man made fires here are simply started because burnt wood is still usable and cheaper
