Rental prices in Europe are increasingly high. According to a Eurostat study, the average price for an unfurnished one-bedroom flat in the cities of London, Geneva and Dublin exceeds €2000. Eastern European cities generally have the lowest rental costs, such as in Skopje (€250), Pristina (€310) or Ankara (€410).
Do you think that Europe has already reached a housing crisis? And if so, how do you think we can get out of this situation?

Whose idea was it to make it a circle so it’s massively hard to read?
I recently saw a rent affordability chart, which was much more interesting (and more sanely formatted). Some of the locations listed as cheapest are actually the most expensive when adjusted for median income.
I was just gonna say, just listing the cost says nothing about how expensive it is.
Lisbon being the same as Paris is crazy.
This is forcing a ever growing number of Portuguese people to leave their own country to make room for healthy foreigners. It has all the signs of classic colonisation. It’s awful. Try to point that on Lemmy and you’ll be labeled a racist/xenophobe. We’re supposed to just be pushed out and like it.
I think that’s a severe problem for our society and especially the younger generation.
This situation is somewhat a doomed circle, and for now I don’t see it becoming better.
I have already a well paying job, but I don’t see myself paying nearly the half of my net income for a two rooms flat. I always ask myself how do people handle this, who are earning less money, or even have children.
ankara might look like one of the cheapest on this list but if you consider the median income in ankara it becomes bery expensive
