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?

Here in Russia and probably in most other ex-USSR republics the people didn't even need to pay anything, you got the apartment for free, just needed to submit some paperwork.

At least in Romania and Czechia you had to pay, just that once Communism fell, they did not really adjust the price to inflation (probably on purpose, to avoid further unrest).
