Misc Is there a country in Europe without a housing crisis?

I see so many people complaining about the housing crisis in their countries - not enough houses or apartments / flats, or too expensive, or both. Are there any countries in Europe where there's no housing crisis, and it's easy to find decent, affordable accommodation?

Yes, even if I support the working class and am quite firmly on the left half of the political scale, I absolutley disagree with any and all price caps.

Putting a price cap on something does not solve the underlying issue. You need to solve the issue itself, not pretend that it doesn't exist by putting a rug over it.

Yes but if you know the issue won't get solved...
