That is completely untrue. There are many videos on this platform of interviews of people from Africa, Asia and the middle East and they comment specifically how welcoming Poland has been to them. I refuse to accept the premise that Poland is a racist country.

I'm actually working on a couple new videos now. I apologise for the big gap in production and thanks for sticking with the channel

About 20 min from Poznań

That is 8kzl cash my storage unit bill is 300 alone. Would be nice to get rid of it

Most of these properties are sold in cash transactions from my understanding banks will not give a loan for the purchase of a ROD. The best advice I can give is search on OLX or Facebook for a rod property in the area you are looking for. Be prepared if the garden is close to the city it can have a smaller parcel size and greater restrictions on what can be built and how often you can access it with your car. For example one garden in Gniezno only allows gardeners to enter the garden with their car on Wednesday each week and the parcel size is about half the standard size.

Also many gardens require a primary residence on file within a certain distance from the garden as they are meant to be used as gardens/vacation spaces and not as a primary residence.

@anamericaninpoland thank you

I ended up making an entire video about Rod property. Sorry for the lack of explanation. But if you'd like you can find a deeper description here. ua-cam.com/video/oNl5cEgOPBY/v-deo.htmlsi=FlSMWnEzWqp9CiLR

You can usually find it at auchon or sometimes like a small village store

rodzinny ogród dzialkowy

@anamericaninpoland got it. Thanks!

Thanks much

Unfortunately especially as a foreigner who is residing in Poland based on a trc you have to have a primary address outside of the gardens as your legal residence. Also to even to be eligible to purchase a ROD property you have to show a legal residence within a certain distance from the ROD. my comments about living in the gardens is more about retired Poles and not foreigners who do not have permanent residency here in Poland. I hope this helps.

That being said if you are a EU citizen you can buy land here in Poland without any extra restrictions and in rural villages the prices are still pretty decent . As far as the language goes that's a real challenge. I'm lucky my wife is Polish so she does most of the talking. I'm learning but it's a slow process and it has a strong negative effect on my social life. But you take the downs with the ups.

@@anamericaninpoland thanks! 👍

@@anamericaninpoland my partner is Polish (I am Dutch and Canadian) and currently we live in the Netherlands but considering moving to Poland.

Very cool. Well I wish you guys the best! I have zero regrets with moving to Poland I love it here.

You are 100% correct. Since I made this video I have learned a lot more about what the standard is here Vs what an amateur had done improperly in the couple of buildings I had experienced at the time of making this video.

@@anamericaninpoland Here in Czechia, we have typically 16A breaker for each socket circuit and people really use it to the max current pretty often, especially in kitchen, I already saw extension cord to 2300W oven on fire, so people should definitelly not underestimate current levels in 230V system. Most of people don't even know which breaker operates which circuits, so they put everything on one line and then they are surprised that breaker kicks it all out.

@Pidalin yeah that's one thing that i found really crazy. In the States 100A service to the house is normal and if it's a large house 200A where as here even dining a 75A single phase breaker is rare (unless you go to an electrical specialty shop)

@@anamericaninpoland There are some speculations about EU banning "big breakers" for homes or you will be paying for size of your breaker some fixed tax instead of paying actual consumption, it's another nonsense created by EU and I hope they will forget about it, but they already banned classic solder Sn60Pb40 so I am really afraid. 😀 16A for one socket line is pretty well selected size to have enough power for your devices and still beying pretty safe when everything is connected fine. I have no idea what ampers we get into whole house or apartment, I live in apartment from our company and I don't have conctract with electric company, so I don't know. I remeber when I owner bought a new machine (I work in furniture factory) that needs up to 100 kW in peaks and they had to bring crazy fat cable from different company that is located close to us and somehow connected it, ofcourse it was done officially, not DIY. 😀 It was temporarily permanent solution, as always. 🙂

Glad you were able to find the section you were looking for eventually 😂😂

Unfortunately money is a factor here the same as the USA. For example I just got back from the grocery store and all of the fresh meat is imported while Poland is a major exporter of meat. It doesn't make a lot of sense sometimes

@@anamericaninpoland the US ships pork and chicken to China then it’s processed and shipped back to the US for consumers to buy. John Deere does the same for their tractors under 60 hp. Everything is built here by John Deere, then shipped to India to be assembled and shipped back to John Deere to be sold. No, it doesn’t make sense.

It's crazy times in the USA for sure!!

It's not impossible but the easiest way would be for your wife to get her polish citizenship by descent from her mother. That would give her the ability to purchase land in Poland without restrictions. That being said anything that is listed as farm land in Poland can only be sold to farmers and I'm not sure exactly how those regulations work. Regardless I would start with the citizenship process it makes purchasing land as a non EU resident much much less complicated.

Thanks for watching I'm glad you enjoyed the video. The weather in Poland is great!! At least for me. I come from the mountains in the north eastern USA so the weather here in Poland is very mild in comparison. Summer time the temperature rarely goes above 30°c and the winter temps are usually around -5°c so not super cold. You just dress for the weather.

Otodom or OLX are great places to look for real estate in addition to FB marketplace. As far as banks yes usually you have to have a Polish bank to transfer to. Fees are really bank dependent. I only have experience with ING so I'm far from an authority.

@@anamericaninpoland thank you so much for your response ;)

After living here in Poland and seeing how well the police system works compared to the USA I'm amazed how much of safety is about culture. A police state will not change culture.

Regulatory nothing has changed. The market has gotten worse each year for buyers property costs are higher than ever. And the increases are across the board not just limited to the cities.

@@anamericaninpoland That is good and bad news. It's nice that property "value" is going up, but I know that makes it harder to purchase as an individual. I appreciate the insight.

@@heyskra no problem. Anytime I can help I'm happy to. 😁

Family allotment garden

Sounds like a good community activist making sure the judicial system isn't overloaded 😂😁😁

If it was 5 years ago I wouldn't hesitate to tell you to jump on it. Right now the prices are highly inflated in my opinion (for the Polish market) I worry that the ROI for rental properties at this time isn't great but I may be wrong and prices could be at their "new normal" but it gives me the same kind of vibes as the USA around 2008.

@@anamericaninpoland Thanks for your quick response. Well, as a Dutchie myself, and seeing how the Netherlands has developed over the last years, and seeing how Poland is developing, I think it has a bright future. Property prices in the Netherlands been rising like crazy setting new normal after new normal, prices rising so high me as a 23 year old without a partner has no chance of buying a house. Poland's political position, and a rising population for the first time in years, makes me think it would be a great investment, and creating passive income in the meantime.

@@rickreinders I don't disagree. It just seems like the prices have increased too quickly here in my opinion and depending on the financial/lending market a crash like what occured in the USA is a strong possibility I'm not saying it should be a deciding factor for you but keep it in mind when considering property. I would avoid Warsaw completely that market is completely out of control. But looking at at areas like Poznań, Wrocław or even smaller cities like Bydgoszcz (growing foreign military community) could be real winners

@@anamericaninpoland Definately something to think about indeed. Especially with such a big investment. Thanks for the advice.

Well it wasn't misinformation for the parents who spoke directly with the school administrators.

In order to own a rod property you have to show that you have a primary residence within a certain distance of the garden. Yes you can eventually own land in Poland without being a citizen but it's a long process.

Very well said!!

Very true. There are definitely some major challenges it's definitely a very different system from the USA but I do like the way Poland protects its farmland from potential foreign interest.

I'm glad you enjoyed the video!! Thanks for watching!!

@anamericaninpoland Am looking at moving to Poland or Hungary with my wife and daughter.. Is a 120.000 pound a good budget for a village property in Poland. Your opinion would be much appreciated.

@user-kc1uf4og8m it depends on what kind of house you'll be looking to purchase and in what village. Within a distance of less than 10 km the prices are vastly different. There is an app called Otto Dom where most people advertise and you can search by region. I will say the prices are currently double what they were even 4 years ago on many properties.

@user-kc1uf4og8m www.otodom.pl/

@anamericaninpoland Thank you very much you are a gent !

I'm sorry you haven't had the same experience I have had.

That's a possibility

Very well said!!

Homelessness isn't really as big as issue here. So I guess that's why squatting wouldn't be looked upon favourably

​@anamericaninpoland Are there wooded areas that aren't visited like in the outskirts of Krakow or barns that people would rent? I'm heading over there early December and don't want to be cleaned out renting some Apartment or Room rental. I guess I can wing it but a place to Stash my bigger bag would be nice. Like those U-Store-It type of places.

​@@anamericaninpolandI think I'd be happier near the tatra mtns or in a sailboat in Gdansk.

@taterbug70 both are really beautiful places

Wild camping in the woods/forests isn’t allowed in Poland

Thanks for watching

Thanks I'm glad you enjoyed the video

I'm sorry to hear that. Even trying to respond I've had my comments removed. Definitely not happy with how UA-cam is handling comments today.

I'm not sure how 17 year old me would have responded to the situation. It is easy to Monday morning quarterback the situation and hope that if we were in the same situation that we would have responded differently. And I'm not familiar with the project.

But his only donation was to the democrats

@@anamericaninpoland which begs the question..... was Donald not enough Project 2025 Evangelical for him, or too much Project 2025 Evangelical?

​@@anamericaninpoland When Crooks was 17 he made a $15 donation to ActBlue, a political action committee that raises money for left-leaning and Democratic politicians..... C'mon man, $15 quid three years ago.... Trump used to be a Democrat, but he couldn't fool them for his own gain, hence he turned Republican.... Google it

@@czarekp3552 it's hard to know the mind of a person like that. I can't even begin to guess

@@anamericaninpoland Okay then.... Jan 6th thoughts?

Come on this one was definitely debunked

@@anamericaninpoland When was it debunked? When Trump said that he would disown his kids if they ever sign up? Please point me to the debunking

Well said!! I don't feel there are any truly objective news sources today. As you say we have to do the research for ourselves and decide what the middle ground or "truth" is.

@@anamericaninpoland funny you should say that..... ever heard of the Ground News? You get indicators which side is pushing facts, or its lying points, before truth gets its pants on and confirm your biased view

I'm not sure what's going on with the comments today but I did write a response and it needed to be edited so if it shows up just disregard it. But CNN most definitely has been sued most famously by Nicholas Sandman and he won $250 million for defamation. Also we have to remember Russia gate, the Steele dossier the list goes on.

@@anamericaninpoland Russia Gate, proven right, covered by Barr... read up on it

@@anamericaninpoland Trump ordered Muller to be sacked..... Wonder why, cause 'Nothing to hide, nothing to fear'.... Right?

@@anamericaninpoland F........!!!! I'll try it for the last time and i'm off... NS's case, he deserves all the money.... but was he there to help marginalised, or just laugh in their faces?

@czarekp3552 they were there as a school trip to visit the monuments and museums in the capitol. The place where the whole situation took place was the meeting place for all of the students on the school trip. It was never about marginalized people the person who actually started was a member of the Hebrew Israelites (a group of black racist fanatics hiding behind religion in very much the same way as the KKK did for the whites) it was a sad situation that was exacerbated by once again partisan politics (because of the red maga hat) in which CNN defamed Sandman based solely on his assumed political beliefs. That's why CNN had to pay him the settlement. he won settlements from others as well I just don't remember the exact details of the other cases.

That's super frustrating I would have liked to read your full comments. That being said I understand what you're getting at. I agree much of his rhetoric is horrible. That being said equations to him and other historical figures are vastly overstated. He was in office once already and his actions varied greatly from his rhetoric. At the end of the day the idea of bemoaning a failed assassination is a very sad state of affairs. Regardless I appreciate you taking the time to write thoughtful comments in response to the video and look forward to future conversation.

@@anamericaninpoland read the Project 2025 and tell me if you want your wife and daughters and people you love, to live the lives this project wants them to live from now on....

Oh wow thanks for the correction. It's crazy to think that it's even happening in the world today. Sad times for sure.

I don't understand what you mean. I don't censor anything especially in this video I just provided what I believe is balanced, rational commentary.

@@anamericaninpoland wrote two comments, disappeared straight away.... i admit, that its probably youtube's algorithm not liking things being called by their name and people being called out (don't mean you).... sorry mate and all he best

@czarekp3552 ahhh ok yeah that's super frustrating. Yeah I don't delete comments good or bad. UA-cam has more control over them than I would like for sure.

And yes Poland is very very clean,so be proud Poland because you live in beautiful and safe country 😊

I 100% agree
