Hello everyone,
I have often wondered what typical “building mistakes” from the 2010s and 2020s will be seen as in a few decades. Would you like to speculate together?
I mean, in the 1970s, it was considered stylish and modern to cover bathroom walls with brown tiles all the way to the ceiling and combine them with sunny yellow sanitary ceramics. Back then, no one could have imagined that this would one day be regarded as unattractive.
Will vinyl flooring and laundry connections on the first floor be seen as typical but now outdated features of our time? Floor-to-ceiling windows? “Smokey eyes” (dark window tinting)? Which elements will make the next generation shake their heads and wonder about our questionable taste?

99% of children won’t care at all whether they grow up in a two-room apartment or on a farm. They adapt to just about anything.Fortunately, I had a 4000m² (43050 sq ft) forest plot and 3000m² (32300 sq ft) of meadow during my childhood where I could let my imagination run wild. Who knows what I might have gotten up to if I had grown up in a city.H

99% of children could not care less whether they grow up in a two-room apartment or on a farm. They adapt to almost anything.Absolutely agree! Children need balanced and present parents, other children, additional positive adult role models, good nutrition, the freedom to be children, and the opportunity to play, learn, and explore. Having space certainly helps—but it is not the most crucial factor.G

I’m asking now because it’s been on my mind since yesterday and I couldn’t find anything about it on Google: What does “unkonzentriert” mean… or the full term “unkonzentriert gebaute Kegelbahn-Doppelhaushälfte”? Since I’m familiar with some of your posts, I know there’s something clever behind it; I just didn’t understand what. Sometimes his posts are just cleverly disguised nonsense – sorry @11ant. But sometimes it feels like too much casual talk and not enough nuance.
It’s simply the way things go in times of cheap money and rising prices: the market meets the demand for small and “affordable” plots in suburban belts and metropolitan areas for the “general public.”
And it’s just a fact that no family really wants to pay 1200 € (about $1300) rent per month for a 4-room place without utilities included.
That’s why you get small semi-detached houses and townhouse developments. It’s as simple as that. Every generation faces its own challenges, and ours is figuring out how to get property that’s realistically affordable and pay for it.
