What are the changes in rental supply and demand this year?

I feel like renting a house

The first choice: real estate

What does it mean to buy a house? It means you have a house of your own. Yes, you think so, but in China you cannot own this house, it is just rented to you. Because the house is yours, but the land is not yours. You only have the right to use the land for 70 years (70 years from now, it was during the Anti-Japanese War. Who has seen the house at that time?). Usually, a house will be demolished or renovated after about 30 years. In other words, you spend money on buying a house, but you can only get the actual effect of renting a house. Of course this is not the worst. The worst thing is, decades later you find out you were fooled! A group of gangsters stormed into the house you bought with your life savings and painted a big sign on it! Then you treat all your belongings like rubbish and still go out, regardless of your pleas, and even give you a bad reputation in the newspaper. When the public insults you, you will know what despair is!

A famous joke describing China’s real estate goes like this:

In the past, there was a landlord who owned a lot of land and hired many long-term workers to work on it. The landlord built a building for the long-term workers. A group of people lived in Tuanjie Building. One day, the landlord's counselor said to the landlord: Boss, the long-term workers have a little money in recent years. It is not cost-effective for them to live in your house and pay rent every month. Anyway, they will live here forever. , you might as well sell your house to them and call it public housing for sale! Telling them that the house belongs to them forever and they can get back the money they have saved over the past few years, the landlord said: Yes, but what about the rent? The counselor said: Just accept it and give it a Japanese name, property fee! The landlord quickly implemented it and made a lot of money. The long-term workers were so happy!

After a few years, the landlord’s village developed into a town. There were more and more wealthy people and there was no place to live. The counselor said to the landlord: Boss, the long-term workers have become rich again in recent years. , we built them new houses and called it old city reconstruction. They gave us the money they had, and we demolished the houses and built new ones, asking them to buy them back. They could build more and sell them to others. The landlords implemented it again. , this time, some long-term workers were unhappy. The landlord's servants were put to use, and the long-term workers had to swallow their teeth. The landlord made a lot of money again.

A few years later, the landlord’s village developed into a big city, with more wealthy people and the landlord’s land becoming more valuable. The counselor said to the landlord: Boss, let’s demolish the houses of these long-term workers. Now, you can build villas in this place, build houses on the demolished land and sell it to the rich people, and you can still make a fortune. The landlord said: What will happen if the long-term workers don't work? The counselor said: Let's give them more money and call it monetized resettlement. Let's build a house next to our pigsty and call it affordable housing. We will build a carriageway for them to buy a house there. Housing, the landlord said: What if they don’t have enough money? The counselor said: I borrowed it from our bank and gave it to them, with an interest of 6 cents a year. We can still make money with this money, and there is no risk. The landlord has implemented it again, and the long-term workers have received the money. The landlord’s affordable housing has not been available until now. After building a house, the long-term workers had to queue up to wait for the house. Until now, they are still waiting...

So the long-term workers started to make trouble. The landowner was a little panicked and asked the counselor what to do? The counselor said: quickly inform the long-term workers that the house price is going to drop. Don’t buy it. Let’s rent a house. We can rent our pigsty to them. As a result, after so many years, the long-term workers have lost all their money and are still renting a house. Forever!

Although this joke is a bit exaggerated, is it actually true? Some people say that is the case? Why do Chinese people still buy houses? Buy like crazy? Why? It’s not the result of education that keeps the people ignorant. Just like in the 1960s, it was advocated that people must buy three major items: watches, sewing machines, and bicycles to be considered successful before they can marry. In the 1970s, it was advocated that people must buy the four new major items: TVs, refrigerators, washing machines, and installing telephones was just like getting ahead and marrying and having children. I remember that installing telephones in those days cost several thousand yuan (in a small town with a per capita income of less than 200 yuan). ), and when there were tens of thousands of units in Beijing and Shanghai, you still had to queue up to buy an account and get favors. How is it similar to buying a house today?

And today all the bullshit scholars have started the same old trick of fooling the people: the new standard for white-collar workers, the new choice of successful people for small apartments on X Ring Road and X Ring Road, and commercial and residential types on X Ring Road X. After charging you hundreds of thousands, they still have to charge you rent (new property fees), bank interest, and various cleverly named interest rate increases, policies, etc. every month.

In short, I am not afraid that you will not be tortured to death, but I am afraid that your death will not be miserable enough! Why are ordinary people so willing to be fooled and never tire of it? I was so angry that I was wet all over!
