Comment on Anon describes their dream home

Fun fact: My landlady lives in Switzerland, too.
But I’ve found a new place with the same price per square meter now.
Just a couple km further out, on a hill overlooking the Rhine.

You’re going to be doing that every 6 years or so as others do the same, and as more landlords clock onto where future tenants are going.
The south is becoming very business friendly and that new rail line is only going to increase more swiss investment.
If you can, start looking to buy a small apartment somewhere.

The plan is to buy the apartment I now rent, when I’ve been there for a year and know that the neighbors are OK.
I know the owners, and they’re not going to sell to an investor.
I’m not going to leave the country.

That’s good. I miss the Schwarzwald a lot. I used to bike 40km through mountains and forest and vineyards, through rain and snow and sun.
It was beautiful and my heart aches just thinking about it
