This is valid. Though we are really bad accustomed to live in the exact same place we work, and this is BY FAR not the norm elsewhere.

The vast majority of people in the UK, for example, have long commutes by train. I have workmates that have 2.5 hours of commute each way, and while that is extreme, 45m to an hour is completely normal.

Translate that to Spain and your radius for an available house is immense.

There are 266 municipalities around Valencia, each municipality with several (some dozens) of towns, that you can reach by car in less than 60 minutes. In Madrid, there are 179 municipalities less than 60m away from the city.

Again, it would be fantastic if you could walk to work. But that is a massive privilege in large cities.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe that the social organisation of Italy won't be massively different, i.e, lots of small towns around a major city.

I still stand by my point. The housing crisis has nothing to do with immigration, and everything to do with rich people and corporations being allowed to speculate with a basic good.

Paraphrasing Gary Stevenson, if you allow wealth accumulation past a certain level where the wealth cannot be spent in normal things, the uberrich will start buying ALL the space. And that is exactly what we are living now.

100% rubbish argument. If you dig a bit you'll find that any western modern country that has a housing crisis (pretty much universal these days) have an enormous surplus of empty houses.

Giving you Spain as an example, that I am more familiar with: We've had an insane housing crisis for the last decade, and yet we have about 4 million empty houses across the country.

The housing crisis has nothing to do with immigration and everything to do with an unregulated basic good. Having a roof over your head, should be a basic right, and no-one should be allowed to speculate and make crazy money out of your need for it.

The prices rise because there is no regulation at all and it is one of most lucrative forms of investment, with a lot less risk than other forms of financial investment.

Well neither you or the LLM succeeded there. Tedious prose to read.

I am going to give you my two cents on why this is the case, at least for me.

The reason I am in these spaces where people can posts things like "I created X..." or "I built X...", is because I want to learn from people that are much better engineers than I am.

I normally would skip a post of the kind "I built X", X being something simple that I am familiar with, because if I can do that too, there is not much value in spending my time going through an explanation on how you built it.

However, when the X you built is something really cool that I have not the slightest idea of how to build myself, I will take the time to explore your ideas, your code, your comments, and learn from you.

Clearly, up until very recently, I thought, if you built something really cool that I would not know where to even start with, you had something (knowledge, experience) that I lacked and I could learn from. You took the time to explain to others how you came up with that X, and I will take the time to ingest it and learn from it. I have learnt to be really appreciative of people that took the time to show others the things they make, and their thought process, insights, etc...

Please note that up until here, the WHAT you built is irrelevant. I don't care if it is a weather station you built in a makerspace, a new language compiler I will never use or a rendering engine for some kind of nonsense. What adds me value is not the what, but the how you made it. That is where my potential learnings are.

Fast forward to now, if what you did was spend a couple of hundred bucks prompting an LLM and generated a convoluted codebase that it is a royal Paine to look at as it does not really follow clear train of thought, and readme with Claude and uploaded it to GitHub to show off, I don't think I have much to learn from you.

I can also do that. The fact that you did that with a specific WHAT that didn't occur to me, is a curiosity at best. So now it is on me, to actually open the GitHub repo, realise that probably you have absolutely no idea how this even works either because it is a 100% intent-based generated codebase, be disappointed, and move on to the next post.

After going through that cycle 75 times a day, yes, I am a bit tired of vibe slop, even if the outcome X is good.

5 years ago, a post like this, would truly have been a work of love over months of someone's effort, and we could have learnt tons from the OP. Now, I am afraid that is not case. Now my thinking is, yep, nice project dude. Can't be bothered to open it. If I ever need one of this, I'll prompt it myself into existence, and I will learn probably very little in that process. Probably like you did too.
