      Pairing Switzerland and affordable housing is even worse.

      Switzerland also has mandatory private health insurance, amusingly enough (I assume there are subsidies or something for those who can’t afford it but I don’t really know any of the details).

        Yeah rent ranges from $2000 to $6000 monthly for bog standard 3.5 room apartments (even ones that haven’t been renovated in 40 years) and most of them aren’t even in a good location.

        And the rent keeps going up. I don’t know who the absolute shitheads are who actually go for those high offers.
