This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.
Be warned:
- Anon is often crazy.
- Anon is often depressed.
- Anon frequently shares thoughts that are immature, offensive, or incomprehensible.
If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

So what you mean to say is castles are relatively cheap, not that they are actually cheap?
Everything that is cheap is relatively cheap. Nothing is cheap in absolute sense. Most of ut is based on my ginancial situation if I have zero € everything is expensive.
Or the other example how low number does bot make someyhing cheap. If 1 byte of mobile internet data costs only 0.01€ is that cheap or expensive? But it is only 1c.
To talk about cheap or expensive you are always talking about either how much similar items usually cost or how easily you specifically can afford it. But it is always relative.
Italy Giving Away More Than 100 Castles, Villas and Monasteries for Free https://www.telegraph.co.uk/money/property/italy-giving-away-100-castles-villas-monasteries-free/
Right but that comes alongside a detailed proposal to restore the property and turn it into a functioning tourist facility.
So very much not free.
Oh yeah, it’s a bankruptcy waiting to happen but at least they don’t make you pay for the nightmare up front I guess.
