"I never expected that all kinds of camping equipment that I bought on a whim before would really become a necessary tool for my survival at this moment. ”
Living in a tent every day saves money for housing, and it has developed into saving money for cooking and eating by yourself. ”
Camping equipment is really not bought for nothing, and it is a 'life-saving' thing at critical moments. ”
When Zach said something like this while holding up a night of instant noodles, he really didn't know whether to rejoice in his "fluke move" or be sad.
Make yourself a cup of coffee every day and make a simple stir-fry on a small stove. That's how much Zach eats for a day.
Zach drove from Qingdao to Shanghai in October to look for a job, and dozens of resumes were thrown in every day to no avail, and one day he had a whim, no longer staying in a hotel, and directly used the camping equipment in the car to save rent until he found a stable job.
But the part-time job is unstable, and one day at a time counts. He didn't know how long he could hold out.
When one parking lot was charged, he moved to another free parking lot, like a nomad. Maybe he doesn't know when, he will drive his car to the next city.
If Zack is a money-saver who can live, then the bleak big data of the rental market in Beijing, Shanghai, and Guangzhou illustrates some new situations at the moment.
The data shows that in the third quarter of 2023, the housing rent level in 40 key cities across the country has shown varying degrees, and the rent in first-tier cities has exceeded 1% quarter-on-quarter.
In the three major cities of Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou, rents in Guangzhou and Beijing fell in the third quarter compared with the second quarter. 28%, of which Shanghai fell the hardest, reaching 212%。
As of November, the average rent price in first-tier cities showed "three consecutive declines" month-on-month and "five consecutive declines" year-on-year, and the average rent prices in the four cities of Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Shenzhen showed a decline for three consecutive months.
This statement is not graphic. Let's take a practical example.
In the area of Zhoupu Kangqiao, Shanghai, in a dense area of office buildings, renting is a hot commodity, but rental agents have responded that there are a large number of ** idle for one or two months, and some are idle for more than half a year. The first room with better conditions is rented for 8,500 yuan a month, and the tenant bargains to 7,500 yuan, but the landlord does not agree, and the house is hung for 3 months, and the price is reduced to 7,000 yuan before it is rented out.
People gather in one place, or leave one place for a simple purpose, mainly for employment. If the employment environment in a place is not suitable, people will naturally leave. Yuan Xin, vice president of the Chinese Population Association and professor of the Institute of Population and Development Research of the School of Economics of Nankai University, said in an interview.
