Have been looking at getting a summer #cabin, perhaps good enough to work remotely three seasons, for a few years.
The sad truth is, the #boomers bought the nice places in the 60/70:s, and those are not reaching the market, but are inherited.
What does reach the market is mosquito-infested, moldy masonite hovels surrounded by thick fir woods miles from any water.
Only exceptions are places where the #boomer kids can't get along at all and sell - and then priced higher than my #Stockholm home.
#Luxury problem, I know, but so much of the #swedish culture still centers around having a "#summercabin", and it's sad to only briefly rent parts of it.

@subm3rge@infosec.exchange Sell the apartment, buy a countryside house/cabin good enough for working remotely all year round 👌 Or buy a plot of empty land and build a cabin. I have the opposite problem, where I don’t really need/want a summer cabin because I basically live in one, but I will inherit one that I despite everything really want to keep.
