> I'm saying this in the nicest way possible, gives you the right to make up rules on what I can do with my property?

Democratic majority authority of the people. Unless you are living on a hilltop with a shovel to shovel your excrement and a bucket to haul it to dump it somewhere, you are a part of society and your freedom cant be unlimited.

> Simply building more

Where? This sounds like American ignorance that makes Americans think that every country has gigantic plains and non-utilized farming lands to keep building away.

Europe is small. Texas is half the size of Western Europe. Most of European cities and urban centers are located in river basins in between mountains and they are already built. The Mediterranean is much worse - all the habitable space is river basins and small plains made by rivers. It doesn't even have the large flatlands of Northern Europe. And all that land in the Mediterranean, like in Barcelona, has already been built.

Europeans cant pull more land out of their asses to satisfy the investment needs of American investors.



Funny enough, not only I'm not american, I was actually born in communism, the real kind. So I know what I'm talking about.


Do you... Those 'free market' Americans are escaping to rent-controlled countries to be able to make ends meet right now. The 'digital nomad movement' became a movement for economic refugees.
