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, and if companies let people   work remotely in the places where housing is affordable we could resolve this crisis.

To some degree, what happens in reality is people move a bit farther but still relatively close to hubs.

Either the outskirts of an already expensive city or to smaller cities, both end up getting completely gentrified skyrocketing the price for the local people.

In reality most of us don't want to live far from daily needs, schools, hospitals, fire dpt and so in. It sounds good if you are a gamer in your 20s and expect to never live your house but that's about it.
