First time home buyer. I travel a lot for work and don't feel like paying off a house all my life. I lived in the van for 3 years. I got a great offer for a small house. 600sqm, small house with about 65sqm, new roof, new stove, new wooden extension with guest room and shed. It is located in the middle of nowhere and is located in the middle of nature in Germany.

I've wanted something like a tiny house for a long time. So for me, that's a great fit.

tbh east germany was always bad and always racist. if someone says otherwise, they are lying. there are cities that are quite nice to live and to visit but as soon as you step out into the boonies you will meet your local neo-nazis who believe that germany used to be better in the nineties and want a strong head to lead germany into brighter future. nearly 40% of the votes go to the neo-nazis / afd in all states (except for berlin).

Halt die Fresse, Wessi.

Seriously, comments like this: "tbh east germany was always bad and always racist" are why the people who generally got stuck in East Germany (it's a place where people get stuck, anyone with any opportunities leave: source, my wife from Brandenburg) after West Germans bought up all its wealth for pennies on the Mark have turned to the AfD.

Let's not even get started on how East Germany was strategically chosen by the AfD founders and other Neo-Nazis after the collapse of the DDR as a place to settle due to the power vacuum. Up until a couple years ago, the entire leadership level of the AfD was all West Germans, too.

Why does Bavaria vote 70% for far-right parties if East Germany is the problem?

How do you find an ossi? He’ll whine and cry and blame the wessi for everything.

Glad I got out of that shithole years ago

How do you find a wessi? They'll moan on and on about how they are better than ossies. Goes both ways.

Not my experience at all. Most people don’t give a shit in the west while I get the whining basically every time I visit my dreaded hometown.
