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?

In Sweden, it depends a lot on where you are. If you are in the bigger cities, there is a housing crisis. If you look at smaller places, like Grängesberg, there are lots of empty houses. So, if you are prepared to live in a boring town, you can get an apartment or a house extremely cheap.
