I’m not saying that there isn’t a housing crisis but that article is a huge pile of BS.
I’m not familiar with Paris but I doubt there are a lot of furnished studio apartments compared to ones without furniture so the 6 months seems like cherry picked data.
Also the part where they talk about rent prices compared to median income is just wrong:
In London, the average rent for a one-bedroom flat in the city centre is now nearly €2,500 per month. The sum is more than three times the median monthly wage in the UK.
So you’re telling me the median monthly wage in the uk is ~800€, yeah right…
The same thing is happening in Amsterdam, with the average rent being over €1,500 per month, more than two times the median wage in the Netherlands.
Oh and in the Netherlands it’s less than 750€?
A quick google search tells me that the median wage in the uk is ~2600€ and for the netherlands I couldn’t find a value for the median wage but the average in 2022 according to statista is >4000€ a month.
With weekends, public holidays and vacation days I work 220 days a year and with 8 hours a day that’s probably not far off the total hours of the 150 work day medieval peasant
I usually print a temp tower when I get new filament that I haven’t used before. It doesn’t take that long and if it prevents a failed print it’s totally worth it.
A dedicated e-reader is way better for reading than a smartphone or tablet. They use e-ink screens which are better for your eyes and for battery life.
Also there are dedicated mobile music players. A lot of them are targeted at the audiophile market and can drive high impedance headphones and have a high quality dac. But most people aren't audiophiles and don't use headphones that would benefit from something better than a smartphone.
