    This is a good thing.

    Fuck these kids getting overpaid remote jobs destroying the housing market of poor countries like mine.

      Individuals buying/renting for themselves don’t destroy any housing market.

      Scalping companies buying hundreds of houses and apartments in a city to leave them vacant and artificially pump prices do.

        Maybe not in US cities. But I’m not talking about the US, I’m not even talking about cities. More like towns with heavily distorted markets thanks to expat parasites.

          Parasites. Are those the ones that bring in a bunch of resources and give them to the host?

            No. I wish that were the case though, then I wouldn’t have any reason to dislike them. But being that It isn’t the case, I’ll continue my campaign of hostility against gringos.

          Bingo. Someone making 120k makes 5 times the median here. I know about 3 people of my age that own a house and 2 of them left for the US. The other one came from a well off family and was well connected. But the housing market is hot hot hot. And the supermarkets now do their promotions in English.

      Maybe they can go the easy route to big riches (haha) as social influencers. Though not as many make bank as they’d like
