“growth manager for a property technology company”
I envy the people with these entirely fake jobs. To be highly paid to chill out and make things up. Fair play to them.
Cities tend to be disproportionately priced in housing, in the French countryside you can buy houses for 40k with work however in Paris a decent parking space can set you back 150k. Salaries tend to compensate to some degree however inflation has shifted at well above the norm.
Should show him what that kind of monthly payment would get him up in Newcastle, he wouldn’t have to share a postcode let alone a rooftop
A shoebox for £3,250. What a bargain (!)
It’s so expensive he can’t afford to buy socks !
So roughly £50K in earnings before tax? Christ he must be on a few quid.
Crikey. Almost 40K per year just in rent for a 1 bed shoebox. Crikey crikey. Makes me feel like my financial decisions have been sensible, and I’m not a sensible person.
I’d rather live in a caravan in someone’s garden then pay that, probably be about the same size too.
He describes it as spacious, has access to luxury amenities, next to Battersea power station, and paying for the lifestyle. Comes with quirks of private flats: garden, gym, jaccuzi, etc.
Guy is obviously raking it in, as he’s a property growth manager for a firm in London. He seems pretty content with it. I guess that’s the premium for living luxury in London.
what size shoes does he wear?
He looks like such an arsehole
This story makes me sad
What this human is buying into isn’t housing. It is the chance to participate in a ‘lifestyle’ that is otherwise absent from their identity. As much we can observe at this phase of the housing-as-lifestyle experiment, this has certainly brought short-term rewards and a secure environment, but in exchange for total obedience to the strict rules of the lifestyle. Meeting rooms can only be used for meetings, the gym is closed at 11pm etc. However in time, this may shift to a profound sense of something missing in the human, perhaps individuality or non-conformity. The the effect of this panopticon environment, infinitely signalling the human is in fact living a ‘normal life’ in ‘complete freedom’ (artificial, monitised, regulated, observed), it may become very difficult to live with such a forced dynamic without experiencing emotional harm.
An interesting side development happens in Japan amongst people described as Hikikomori. That is, living in isolation and loneliness but in ‘complete freedom’. They may not reach a higher consciousness and thus become completely overwhelmed with the complexty and diversity of modern society.
What a view that comes with!
Poor guy’s spending so much money on rent he can’t afford socks or jeans that fit.
I mean, he could also not pay that rent.
More fool you
That’s hardly a shoebox, if you look at the pics.
Plus he lives next door to a Pink Floyd album cover.
