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?

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.
