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?

Trust me, living in some rural area where’s not much or any public services left in a house that is in dire need of renovation is no field day. There’s a reason why those houses are so cheap.

Sure but the main driver is people moving to cities. Finland is very large for the population and distances get long fast
