Spain is basically empty outside of the larger cities, and property prices are often very low, so it is different.

The Netherlands is perhaps a better example. Very high population density, technical challenges due to a lot of reclaimed land, high property prices.

If they can manage it…

The Netherlands has plenty of normal rail, but actually hardly any high speed. Same problems…

“Problems”. The Dutch government doesn’t WANT to spend the money.

Don’t believe me, have a look for yourself:

Valencia, Murcia… it’s quite easy to find a house for under 10k. You’ll have to renovate it, but still.

I can find a house without renovating for under 10k in bumfuck England too, does that make property in the UK cheap?

Instead of saying “Valencia or Murcia” why don’t you go have a look where people there actually want to live, especially all the British “expats”, like say, Benidorm? How’s finding something bigger than a matchbox for under 10k there going for ya?

General Discussion for politics in the UK.
Please don’t post to both !uk_politics@feddit.uk and !unitedkingdom@feddit.uk .
Pick the most appropriate, and put it there.

Posts should be related to UK-centric politics, and should be either a link to a reputable news source for news, or a text post on this community.

Opinion pieces are also allowed, provided they are not misleading/misrepresented/drivel, and have proper sources.

If you think “reputable news source” needs some definition, by all means start a meta thread. (These things should be publicly discussed)

Posts should be manually submitted, not by bot. Link titles should not be editorialised.

Disappointing comments will generally be left to fester in ratio, outright horrible comments will be removed.
Message the mods if you feel something really should be removed, or if a user seems to have a pattern of awful comments.

!ukpolitics@lemm.ee appears to have vanished! We can still see cached content from this link, but goodbye I guess! :'(
