  1. landlord is having the lawn & sprinkler system ripped out. It's the right thing to do, but then they're going to just put down gravel instead 🤮 .

    If I owned the place I'd put in native plants.

    I do hope the gophers find a way out from under the gravel (I'm sure they will) but I bet this also reduces the number of visits I get from the crows and other birds. Ah well.

  6. Critics of Labor’s tax changes claim rents could climb by up to 30%. Here’s why they probably won’t
    By Luca Ittimani and Jonathan Barrett

    Property experts at National Australia Bank and Ray White say their analysis has been misunderstood. So how high will rents really rise?

  7. Sydney, you were a dream of warmth and ease. When I returned to wintry Melbourne, time collapsed – and the city was still romantic
    By Brigid Delaney

    A few years after graduating, I moved north and got lucky. It was like riding a smooth, perfect wave that would never hit the shore

  8. I'm trying to find a Nachmieter for my current apartment, so if you know anyone in Berlin looking for an apartment, please let me know!
    Boosts also appreciated!

  9. 📉 Ah, yes, because the old way of measuring #homeownership was just too *accurate* for some folks. 🙄 Leave it to the Federal Reserve to invent a metric that makes #renting your parent's basement sound like the American Dream. 🏡✨

    “There’s a New York now, keyed into professionalism and uniformity, that sees a guy like him and thinks something must be wrong. There’s an element to the city now that’s hostile to the life of the mind, to the eccentricity that might produce it.”

  12. What’s the average age of first-time homebuyers across Europe?

    Fewer than seven in ten EU households live in owner-occupied homes.

    Euronews Business takes a closer look at the age at which Europeans buy their first home, which varies widely across the continent, based on exclusive data provided by RE/MAX.

  13. My mum and step dad are going away 8-12th June, and said she won’t be able to help with moving that week. We can’t get keys on weekends. She told me to tell the letting agents I’m ready from the 15th.

    I really don’t want to piss off the landlord, who is already fed up with the delays. I can get my stuff moved with an extra person for £50. But it’s things like cleaning and fixing a few things, so I get my deposit back.

    Plus the longer I wait, less money I get back from days not lived here, which messes up my finances.

    I don’t know what to do.

  15. Shout-out to the Cambridge, MA community.

    I'm beginning an apartment search for a three-person household. Any leads in or around MIT would mean a lot.

    Boosts and local knowledge both very welcome !

  16. #Anthropic’s acquisition of all compute capacity at #xAI’s #Colossus1 data centre suggests xAI isn’t actively training its own #AImodels. This shift to a “neocloud” business model, #renting out #GPUs, raises questions about xAI’s innovative potential and its future profitability, especially as #SpaceX prepares for its IPO. techcrunch.com/2026/05/10/were #tech #media #news

  17. More on the shape of the support for the Green Party of England & Wales in Thursday local elections; they performed best in areas with lots of renters (which may be at least partly coterminous with the age profile posted about earlier today/yesterday).

  18. Home ownership is always framed as being about building wealth; that viewpoint inevitably leads to higher housing costs and a poorer working class (because treating housing as an investment drives up housing costs).

    The true advantage to home ownership is the financial stability it brings. When #renting you are subject to inflationary increases, which means your housing costs do not remain stable, however when you own your home costs remain relatively stable for 25-30 years and then plummet once your mortgage is paid off.

    The largest financial challenge of home ownership is putting enough aside each month to cover the maintenance and repair costs associated with ownership; the ones that a #landlord is supposed to cover if you rent, although many landlords shirk that responsibility. The easiest way for a home owner to deal with this is to put a small amount aside each month to cover both the unexpected repairs that crop up and the high cost maintenance
    projects as stuff wears out.

  19. If you’re renting privately, your landlord is responsible for most major repairs to your home like pipes, heating and gas safety.
