It should be easier to (a) buy a home and (b) rent somewhere else but still commute to a job. We probably agree on that.
But that doesn’t change the fact that renting is fundamentally unstable, and a short-term contract comes with risks. You seem focused on shooting the messenger.
- davidgay 7y agoI'm reminded of this thread from yesterday: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=21021709 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=21021709 The relevant issue: Switzerland has rent control (and has had it for a long time). So if it's tenable position for the 2nd richest nation (and has been for a long time), it does suggest that renting being "fundamentally unstable" is not a requirement.
