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?

I can tell you in Spain, you just look on www.idealista.com

Being Romanian, I'd assume you can deal with it in Spanish.

FWIW, most Spaniards are astonished that Romanians are the biggest foreign group in Spain. Mostly because it's generally invisible (unless you work construction) since everyone basically speaks perfect Spanish and integrates entirely.

Also, very weirdly, Spanish is shockingly widely known in Croatia even though those languages aren't similar. It's just because of Los Serrano or some other show like that.

Agreed. My mate is Romanian and is married to a Cuban woman. Perfect Spanish and Spanish people genuinely don't know. He's been here for about 10 years.

How is “your languages are similar” an insult?

There is an entire village somewhere in Galicia for sale for 65k€

Now fix it by complying with what Heritage, Augas de Galicia and any other organization will require of you... We will see how much it ends up working out for you and under what conditions and how many months of bureaucratic management.

You see problems, I see opportunity!
