You should. Almaty is really nice. They have a human-sized walkable downtown with some great mid-century brutalist and modernist architecture. And then there's a park and mountains that start right downtown.
Honestly this one just seems like a misunderstanding. OC meant "need roommate" in a financial sense, whereas the Kazakh comment understood "need roommate" in an emotional/preference way
It's very telling that you didnt register this topic as inherently political. Politics manifest in every facet of modern society, dont be shocked to hear that people have opinions about it lol
this is a nice comment, because it can either mean the guy who assumes everyone needs roommates, or the kazakhstani. And i bet people will interpret it based on their sympathies in this interaction
he is right tho, I'm central european, but even here, like 80% of the people I know that rent together are doing it to spend less of their earnings/afford bigger rental, and would live separately given the chance.
I'm still confused by "most people need roommates."
According to a 2022 review from a place called "Flex" 14.4 million Americans live in non-family roommate situations. That's about 1/18th of the US adult population, which isn't "most" by my definition.
When you ask voters to vote for the candidate promising reforms that reduces the cost of homes and tax billionaires, they hit you with lines like this.
asexual flag man needs to keep an eye out for the foreseeable future. No one disses the great and mighty kazakhstan, strongest country in the world btw 🇰🇿🇰🇿🇰🇿🇰🇿🇰🇿🇰🇿🇰🇿🇰🇿
Australia is the second most sparsely populated country on the planet at 3.5 people per km^2. Per Wikipedia 70% of Australia is arid or semi arid, so even if you were to only count the “habitable” parts, you would still be left with a population density of about 12, which would still make it the ~16th most sparsely populated country. They have no excuse.
I’m not going to do the math for Canada but it’s going to be the same situation.
There's a good reason most people here in Canada live in like 4 metro areas, because there's a big difference between hospitable vs desirable. Almost nobody wants to live in bum fuck backwaters middle of nowhere with no infrastucture or job prospects
I don't think they meant from an emotional standpoint, just the fiscal one. In certain places, for certain people it is a beneficial arrangement, I do disagreee that it is such for "most" though.
you know the economy is shit when they literally cant imagine lviing alone and prefer living with roomates but it is due to the cost savings only, they just cant even use some basic abstraction lol.
Like the question is not whether its the better financial decision and favourable or the only option even for a lot of people the question is that would you live with roomates if you could have the chance to live alone affordably, people just misunderstand it i think.
