    in Finland.

    Well there’s the issue. Finland isn’t experiencing anywhere near the level of housing cost inflation of the US, Canada, and Australia.

    And cheaper areas in these countries are cheaper for very good reasons (they suck to live in/have no jobs available).

        “Social services” can hold a wide range of stuff and arguably every country does have social services, but yeah it’s one of the nordic social democracies with an extensive social safety net in place. I’m extremely grateful for it, even though I personally don’t use those services (apart from you know, like roads and shit) and they get funded through my income.
