I think memes are cool and this one is accurate lol. I’m just hoping this won’t become some right wing community like 2westerneurope4u. Some memes were funny but all the racism and other right wing bullshit made it pretty much unbearable.
Isn’t the “racism” (pretty much only between different European countries where you can’t really speak about different “races”) there ironical?
Nah it wasn’t really the funny kind of stuff, like making fun of your neighbors, more like typical 4chan incel kind of racism
Is meme, has eastern yurop, it’s bad, gemany gud, clearly upvote.
Next, please, south yurop loud chaos, balkan hate, merica no understand us. Upvotes stonk, promise.
Memes are welcome!
Salaries in countries like Poland are increasing, especially in IT.
Good to see Polish people improving their quality of life!
Fuck yes for IT but people working their asses of at lidl deserve a home too. The housing market is out of control here, and a take away pizza is now a luxury.
I would say with confidence that while QOL was increasing rapidly in Poland in the last two decades this one is sadly different. Late stage capitalism sucks.
Indeed, but to be honest, it’s not like housing is really affordable in Western Europe either.
Seems like a global issue unfortunately
Sure is. You cant even run away from it
Let me tell you about Tokyo.
Do you live in Tokyo? How is it over there? I heard that the mixed housing regulation helped a bit, is it the case for you?

I’ve been to Tokyo (and it’s awesome!) but I don’t live there.
I’ve only glanced at the headlines of the article you posted and most of the factors appear to be in the article. There are a few things that are missing though, afaiu, and it really is a bag of mixed blessings:
- fairly relaxed building codes which means building gets cheaper
- average houses, especially if they’re on the smaller side, are only a couple of decades old – the Japanese demolish and replace their relatively cheap housing fairly often
- less space for motorized traffic
- not a lot of greenery
Cursorily related to the final point: I was also really shocked at Japanese parks. On the plus side, they’re extremely neat. However, most of them have super-wide ways, so half the park is just paved over. And of course there are opening hours, usually they’re open until 6pm but they have all kinds of alarms and announcements going off in the 30 minutes prior.
Interesting, thanks!
Increasing doesn’t mean affordable yet. It sucks over here, even in IT. Poles are still the cheap workforce in IT for other countries.
Interesting, from what I’ve seen on the market, the B2B formula can be nice if you are able to work as a freelancer, I even see a few people coming from other countries to Poland for that.
But I guess it mainly depends who you work for.
B2B is being cut down from working better than a regular work agreement. The golden days of it are gone. Also, being able to be fired in 5 mins without any notice other than a “fuck you get out” sucks.
