I’m actually wondering why aren’t more people abandoning the island..
I mean come on, land of ikea, you can’t have a prison without some nice ikea furnitures
I mean, at this point all I have to do is go to Sweden and murder a random person and BOOM. I get a minimum 21 years of living comfortably and stress-free.
The worst part about this is that its Cypriots doing this to other Cypriots. They’ll gladly kick out a young Cypriot family if they can turn around and charge double the rent to a rich foreigner. Cypriot employers are some of the worst offenders in exploiting low local wages. They’ll intentionally lowball Cypriots because they know they can get away with paying them less. And the government stands by and sells the island off to the highest bidders.
When we look back in 15 years and realize all the young people have abandoned the island we will have no one but ourselves to blame. And I’m sure we will hear the same people responsible for making this island unlivable for locals complaining about all the foreigners.
What I don’t get is why do people think Limassol is the best city when it had nothing to offer other than high rent and high prices to everything
I get that it’s exaggerated, but I saw many 3-4 bedroom houses in Limassol for around 2k. Seems like a much better value compared to apartments.
I believe the lower is exaggerated. For 2k/month you can rent 3 bedroom flat in older building, even with 2-layered windows.
Also, given the pound note, it’s for London.
Listen, prison is no picnic. Think twice before committing crime in Sweden. Nice comfy room by the looks of it, but there’s a good chance you end up being someone’s bitch. Anyone who’s seen the TV show ‘Oz’ will know what I’m talking about.
Hi
Correction “ still wondering why young people abandon Limassol”
I like how easy you can spot a lemesiano. He will just tell you about rent prices. Just move bro. Limassol is the second biggest city in population. Close to third, just move to a bigger or smaller city. If the beach is your concern go to larnaca, if population is concern go to Nicosia. You are implying that people rather move to a nee country than move 30 minutes away. I live on the outter edge of nicosia, 35 minutes from Limassol and rent is 50% off. You can do that you know
It’s not always greener on the other side, and I say this as a Cypriot living and working abroad for the last 8 years. The grass is greener where you water it.
Rents everywhere seem to have sky rocketed. Problem will become worse when there’s no housing available, whereas there is still housing available. Renting rooms aren’t really a reality yet in Cyprus but if the Cypriot gov/real estate developers favour foreign buyers then this will become the norm in Cyprus.
When demand supersedes the supply Cyprus is screwed. The government needs to clamp down on Airbnb landlords and tax these landlords, the government should also provide social housing to people who are financially struggling, provide affordable housing to people who are struggling to get mortgage approval through the banks, give incentives to (mainly) FIRST TIME buyers, increase wages, provide some assistance with child minding fees (in a form of tax credits maybe).
Supply and demand.
If you dumbasses just stop renting Limassol flats with London prices MAYBE, MAYBE prices will drop.
As long stupid people rent overpriced studios and flats and keeping demand high, guess what prices will continue to be high.
