Fair point, I just couldn’t help myself 
I won’t mention it again.
Correct me if I’m wrong, but is it not fair to look at the price of real estate in the place where you live and work? What good is a flat in Jura if you work in Zurich? A couple living in Zurich, each earning 120k (240k in total), could afford a mortgage of 1m. They would probably need to get married first, or just trust each other enough to go into a business deal of their lifetime together. Being good earners, they could pull their pension money and savings and collect 500k. So they could afford a 1.5m flat in Zurich. Last I checked, this is barely enough to afford anything nice. If they were looking for a house for that money within the boundaries of canton Zurich, they would be choosing from scraps. I just find it a frustrating reality and I wonder if there is a way out.
YES. And I explicitly asked not to write anything more about it. I don’t want to have to clean up this thread. Just please let’s focus on real estate.
