Bought to buy a newspaper, glanced through it, and got curious about the housing prices in Beijing. The price within the Second Ring Road has reached 8,000 to 10,000 yuan per square meter. If you want to have a small two-bedroom, one-living room apartment, it would actually cost around 1 million yuan.
I don't have a concept of money. Fortunately, I prefer concrete thinking, so I quickly converted it, which is easier to remember.
If I were a farmer, with one mu of land, that's already pretty good. Planting twice a year, once wheat and once corn, I can earn about 800 yuan a year. Plus raising a flock of ducks and selling duck eggs, I can probably earn at most 1,000 yuan. To buy a decent house in the outskirts of Shanghai, I would have to work without eating or drinking for 1,000 years. By then, communism should have been realized, right?
If I were a worker, not laid off, earning 800 yuan a month. If I don't smoke, don't drink, don't get married, and don't eat. Thirsty, drink cold water; hungry, eat rotten vegetable leaves; cold, pick up tattered sacks to wear. In short, spend no money. If housing prices don't rise, to buy such a house, I would have to work continuously for 100 years. Probably, no factory would want such an old worker.
If I were a civil servant, doing very average, earning 2,500 yuan a month. If I don't smoke, don't drink, don't eat, don't embezzle, don't take bribes, don't misappropriate public funds. To buy such a house (again, with housing prices not rising), I would have to work for 33 years. Probably, I would retire just after buying the house, and most likely die quickly due to malnutrition.
If I were a writer, and doing pretty well, earning 1 yuan per two characters. If I don't smoke, don't drink, don't eat, and don't date literary young women. To buy such a house (again, with housing prices not rising), I would have to write 2,000,000 characters continuously, and also ensure that every character is in demand. If I can smoothly complete 2,000 characters per hour including thinking, writing, and revising, then I would have to write continuously for 1,000 hours, which is 2,000 pages in a WORD document. I understand why writers are easy to die young?憋的.
If I were a prostitute, with average looks, earning 200 yuan per client on average. If I don't smoke, don't drink, don't eat, don't get sexually transmitted diseases, and don't support a小白脸. To buy such a house (again, with housing prices not rising), I would have to receive 5,000 clients continuously. If I receive two clients per day (including legal holidays), it would take 2,500 days continuously, which is about 7 years.
If I were a robber, with average means and average eyesight, earning 1,000 yuan per robbery. If I don't smoke, don't drink, don't eat, don't find women, and aren't caught. To buy such a house (again, with housing prices not rising), I would have to commit 1,000 robberies continuously. If I commit one robbery per week, it would take 18 years continuously.
If I were a businessman, if I eat, drink, smoke, drink, eat, get sexually transmitted diseases, and support a mistress. As long as I can get a loan, at the time the house is launched, pay the down payment quickly, and collude with others to drive up prices, within two years, I can get several houses.
I'm not complaining. I just want to say that land is a national resource, and its primary function is to serve the people of this country. Under legal policies, and with one's own means, using national resources to make money for oneself is not too sinful. However, there must be a limit. If a country has severe polarization, it's not a good sign. When most people in a city are squeezed to the outskirts of the city, that's a kind of sin, no different from the Enclosure Movement in Britain.
Let's think again, how does polarization form? Looking at the time limits for buying a house above, the answer is obvious. An ordinary citizen works hard all his life, earns that pitiful amount of money. Part is taken by the country, part by real estate developers, and part by speculators. It's difficult for polarization not to occur. Think about those ordinary people who have struggled in the city for many years, almost all of them are burdened with heavy mortgage burdens. This is the fate of most people.
I'm not objecting to the country making money from land. However, public money is taken from the people and used for the people. If you get these incomes but can't ensure that most people live in satisfactory houses, then this "taking" is not justifiable. Maybe my thoughts are a bit radical, but the other day I saw news saying that the Constitution has made progress and will protect private property. I think there is a causal relationship here – the premise is that you first ensure that most people have a certain amount of property. If everyone is exhausted trying to get a broken house, what's there to protect? In the world, there is no absolutely just law; material control ability determines its direction. I can't say that ordinary people don't benefit, but under this law, who benefits more, the majority or the minority?
"Farmers have their own fields, and residents have their own dwellings" has always been the most basic requirement of the people for a country. I suddenly remembered an example, which is very vague – it seems that in old Russia, a poor person had no food and stole a piece of bread. At that time, this was a serious crime. The result was that he was not convicted, because when a country cannot provide living conditions for its people, and he steals for survival, the one truly guilty is not him, but the country.
Come on! Devil! Your existence will add more foreshadowing and surprises to my life movement! How can miracles happen without you! Come on! Frustration! Without your tempering, how can I become a dazzling diamond! Come on! My weakness! If I can't see you, how can I become strong! Come on! Opponent! Without your participation, who will I compete with.
For that bit of "happiness", I will persevere in exposing my groin until the glorious other side!
