probably some geezer who took his minimal fixation a step too far...

anyway, I think peopkle in the UK and in NYC, now those people can really complain with good reason about the prices. We have been looking into prices of real estate in or near NYC for very long, and it's just crazy.

^^Remember how cheap it was 10-12 years ago? Those were the days.

Damn! Yurrup is costly aye?

Me and the flatmate split 595$ (that's what? 300 euros?) for a seven-room appartment . We live right in the middle of the Plateau in Montreal, a hip place turned into a yuppie-town over the years.

My roommate has been living here for a long time so that's why the rent didn't go up. It could easily be twice as much. Easily... and it would still be kinda cheap. We're very lucky.

sounds like a good deal

btw, are there no laws that allows the people who owns the flat to adjust the monthly price by some % depending on the economic situation of the country?

at least something like that here in norway, so the owner can't be that ripped off, though it's only small percentages (i.e 4% increase per year max) - or something like that.
