I did about 10 days in Switzerland last year and it was fuckin class. Expensive for sure, but all the alps stuff was amazin.

Reading a thing in the paper a few weeks back how no one in Zurich can afford to buy a house there
Like basically no one.
People that make €250k - not a hope. Renters.

Kinda not surprising, you walk around Zurich and it's fucking Ferraris and Porsches and the most fuck off Mercs you ever saw, just everywhere.

ETA - found it
Average mortgage downpayment is €300k
Lol

Swiss city dwellers are culturally renters, not buyers. Not a new thing.

Yeah, for sure.
A heck of a lot of them there see the positives in renting - homeownership is a legit major commitment and hassle - but it's calcified into a system now where the choice is gone.
So even the people that want to buy, can't.

We're a long way from that here, but it's the direction we're pointed towards.

I had this Swiss pass thing cost a couple hundred quid but got me around everywhere for free. Not sure I actually saved money from it, but I did travel between 4 cities so I guess with the train fares maybe I did. Of course you need to be getting that much use to make it worthwhile.
