| | Friday thread on Thursday
This came up in my Facebook feed, 1207 Geneva, 4170 CHF a month 1970's kitchen & bathroom. How depressing to think this is all you can afford earning 150,000+ CHF a year

This way it wasn't even cool back then.

Oh god that looks terrible! I'd love to take a sledgehammer to it all....the first place I was at in CH had a remarkably similar kitchen, never updated since god knows when, landlord making a killing from a terrible flat. That's how it seems to go here especially in the in demand areas.

I got some email offers for hotels in Switzerland last week - the bathrooms are pretty much identical.
That's depressing.

That's why it's not occupied. They obviously rent high to get cash to redo the kitchen and bathroom.
Or, does the apartment have 6 rooms?

Should I mention poorly produced generics?
Geneva is notorious for unrentable places being rented and fast. There are magnificent and more affordable places outside of the city, I don't really get it.
Where is JohnH, they hit the jackpot.

I think VD generally is better, though Lausanne places are getting too close, price-wise.
I do not know how to make this more Friday  Urs was very good.

I'd like to say that I was shocked at the price vs quality of that flat, but since similar dumps - and worse - go for multiple millions around my area, I've become unshockable when it comes to anything having to do with the Swiss real estate market.

This way it wasn't even cool back then. | | | | | Green toilet, green bath, green sink, orange and brown tiles and "smokey lights" and perhaps a Mathmos for the mood.
I remember them well.
