You see so many children in Western Europe that cannot leave
their parents homes,marry and have children because of high
taxes.
Well, that and the simple fact that many families are squatters who occuppied the houses of Jews lost during the war. They can’t get clear title to sell or transfer the properties. So they are stuck with paying the property taxes in perpetuity and are too greedy and tight fisted themselves to do the right thing. The kids can’t get a piece of free property and just can’t bring themselves to step out on their own. The parents or squatters can’t re-fi because they can’t sign for the loan. It’s a factor holding Europe back and will be a factor until all the squatters and their kin die off.
