I find the tone of entitlement a bit hard to take. Yes, cities like Munich have a huge structural problem with housing and rent. Solutions are unfortunately hard. But it’s a problem for locals just as much as it is for immigrants.

And of course Poland is a nice place to live as well, why do you make that sound like it’s a bad thing? It almost sounds as if you’re regretting some personal decisions, and are now blaming the country you moved to for not living up to unrealistic expectations.

Please make your substantive points without crossing into personal attack, which degrades discussion and evokes worse from others.

I am not from Poland. Some colleagues were. They did careful calculations and went home.

Do you see any viable solution how to end yearly 5% rent increase in Munich? I don’t. There’s enough empty land around the city in all directions.

Don't live and work in Munich?

So what? Poland isn't a third world country by any stretch of the imagination. There's no law of nature that living in Warsaw must be worse than living in Munich.

Why arent developers building more ?

Is it zoning? Need for infra structure ?

Because lots of companies move there and the ones that are already here generaly do well.

And of course there is a general trend of (younger) people moving to the cities (ofc less now because of covid).
