I hope nobody buys that. Sylt should go down, nothing more to say on that. Being a minimalist is an expensive lifestyle, you'll need to have some money to make

Being a minimalist is an expensive lifestyle, you'll need to have some money to make the switch to that. Also, you'll need to buy the best of the class as those are often the devices which fulfill most tasks at once, so you can be a real minimalist.
- 082349872349872 6y agoI agree that minimalism is frequently relatively expensive. It's just that, well, the people who buy apartments on Sylt[1] probably think they're not elite, because they think the people who buy villas on Malle are the elite. Eyeballing the graph on p.22 of https://www.bundesbank.de/resource/blob/796280/5eaebf3d73e4fdde961bd1dacab852f3/mL/2019-04-vermoegensbefragung-data.pdf https://www.bundesbank.de/resource/blob/796280/5eaebf3d73e4f... it appears that the scenario we're considering for elitism above is affordable by at least 60% of german households. [1] listings sorted by ascending price, so those first condos are well below the 2017 cutoff for "wealthiest 10%."
- martin_a 6y agoI think that as long as there are people "above you", be it in net wealth, income, cost for their houses or what, you'll always be tempted to think you are "normal" or rather on the low-end. At least I notice that I sometimes think that way when I wonder why people do not buy something they like or sth. like that.
