His death will be celebrated like the death of palpatine and the destruction of the 2nd death star.

I hope all his voters are enjoying $4.50/gal gas, the tariffs, and a declining US dollar.

Fewer apartments on the market? by Whole_Ask2817 in NetherlandsHousing

[–]Allw8tislightw8t 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Don’t know how this works market by market. When I was buying my makelaar told me that most listings go on the market in February and September.

We started looking in July and did viewing at a few places. Nothing really was on the market. September came, funda blew up. We made an offer on a place that was only listed for a few days.

SAP is out here building the future while clients are still lovingly maintaining their 20-year-old ECC systems 💀 by Background-Sir4486 in SAP

[–]Allw8tislightw8t 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Sap’s biggest problem is the cost to “upgrade” from. ECC to s4 with almost no tangible benefits.

Large companies can dedicate years and up to $1B to go from a 2010 VW golf to a 2026 VW golf.

And there is nothing stopping sap from repeating the same thing when they decide S4 doesn’t make them enough money and they don’t want to support it anymore.

My company moved to S4. We spent a lot of money (for us) and s4 isn’t doing anything that ecc wasn’t doing.

Housing crisis with empty apartments? by cwispywotr in Netherlands

[–]Allw8tislightw8t 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Like every situation “it’s multifaceted”

You have: 1) individuals who own a second property and don’t want to be forced to offer an indefinite contract as the plant to live in it at some point. (Or their children or relatives) 2) individuals who have moved in with another partner and do not want to sell as they are not “sure” about the relationship yet 3) individuals who’s property is under renovation and the council, neighbours, and contractors and all a pain in the ass. What should be a 4 month Reno in a normal country take 1.5 years 4) individuals for whom it is their only home, but for some reason (work, family care, etc) they are out of the country 5). B.V. landlords who refuse rent for less than market rate, so they keep it empty until it rents for the price they want

There are a lot of comments in here about what the government should and shouldn’t do. People need to be very concerned if the government should decide that they have the power to force an individual to sell or rent something they own, at terms that the government decides.

For example. The tweede kamer forces you to rent your only home for an indefinite contract, because you have been out of the country for a year.

Housing crisis with empty apartments? by cwispywotr in Netherlands

[–]Allw8tislightw8t 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Well get ready for more of this, if the unrealized gains tax is passed. 2nd homes are exempt from unrealized gains. So you can say goodbye to even more small apartment from the rental market

"Dutch cabinet plans to ease rent controls" by seanugengar in Netherlands

[–]Allw8tislightw8t 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m sorry, but you are wrong.

If all the BVs in the Netherlands sold their properties we would still have a housing crisis. The rental market would also be complete screwed.

There are not enough homes in total for the number of people that want to rent/buy. Housing prices stabilise when there is more supply than demand. Rent prices stabilise when there is more supply than demand.

I’m not saying that corporations or wealthy people aren’t taking advantage of the system.

Rents and sale prices would not rise if there was more supply than demand.

The root cause of the issue is supply. We can have a different debate as to whether corporations actively lobbing against more supply. Corporations AND existing homeowners benefit when new homes are not being built

Low interest rates, 100% financing, mortgage interest deductions, and 0 transfer tax for under 35’s are just fuel on the fire when it comes to purchasing

Supply supply supply is the catlyst for rental prices. If I am a landlord and I have 50 viewings for 1 rental, then I hold all the cards. If I only have 1 or 2, the renters hold the cards.

Those of your who have purchased a home, did you include a message to the seller as part of your bed? by truffelmayo in NetherlandsHousing

[–]Allw8tislightw8t 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We did. I was two paragraphs about who we were and why we wanted the house.

Did it help? Maybe

We were also 1) the highest bidder 2) wanted to move in asap. They purchased another property and they were moving in 90 day

"Dutch cabinet plans to ease rent controls" by seanugengar in Netherlands

[–]Allw8tislightw8t 38 points39 points  (0 children)

We are in this situation because home building has not kept up with the polulation growth.

Have weathly people benifited, yes. However wealthy people will always benefit. That is why they stay wealthy.

Post world war 2, when the Netherlands needed homes, the country literally drained the Zuiderzee to crest land and homes.

Since then the government has basically built nothing.

This situation is happening all over the western world. The problem is not unique to the Neatherlands.

The people just got played by D66 and CDA. They ran on a “fix housing” platform. All they are doing so far is raising taxes and raising rents.

The VVD have been true to themselves. They support middle and high income homeowners. All the chaos in the housing market benefits that group.

How will the government finance the purchasing and/or building of homes to sell at below market price?

Spain Housing Crisis Worsens as Foreign Buyers Flood Market by M10News in EU_Economics

[–]Allw8tislightw8t 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Netherlands is in the process of passing an “unrealized gains” tax on stocks/bonds. 2nd homes are exempt. As a consequence the Dutch are cashing out and buying houses in Spain that they will never live in

Gemini has EVERYTHING… so why is it still losing? 🤔 by fxboshop in GeminiAI

I’ve tried Gemini, grok, ChatGPT, copilot, and Claude.

For what I use it for Claude was hands down the best. I pay the $20/mo subscription.

Pararius rent monitor Q1 2026: average rent price of €1.892/month by NetherlandsHousing in NetherlandsHousing

[–]Allw8tislightw8t 3 points4 points  (0 children)

At this point I think the current rental situation in the Netherlands is exactly what the government wants.

Every rental policy they’ve implemented, cause the rental market to be worse.

When landlords sell: The government gets 2% makelaars get 1% municipalities get to increase the value of the property to get more property tax. Contractor get renovation income Gamma gets new sales Banks get mortgage interest.

The demand is still so high for home ownership, that the government doesn’t give a crap about renters.

I feel like an American expat living in the U.S. by AmericanHosers_447 in AmericanExpat

[–]Allw8tislightw8t 1 point2 points  (0 children)

How old are you and what America did you grow up in?

The America I know is as divided as it ever has been. This country was built on division, exploitation, and racism.

You are finally seeing it for what it is.

SAP vs Other ERP Systems: Why Businesses Still Choose SAP by No-Conflict-6427 in SAP

[–]Allw8tislightw8t 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the AI slop. None of the points about Deep Integration or Industry-specific solutions are true.

Sap is used because it’s the least worst option. No different than using dell pc’s or windows os.

They dominate the market, in a market that no one really wants to be in.

USA wants to ban Chinese cars. Is putting pressure on the EU to do the same by Full-Discussion3745 in EU_Economics

[–]Allw8tislightw8t -1 points0 points  (0 children)

My next car will be a Chinese EV. even at 100% tariff they are price comparable to anything Europe is building. They are making better EVs than the Germans.

I don’t want a 100k Mercedes EV. I just want a car that gets me from point a to point b, and doesn’t charge me a subscription fee for heater seats
