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?

    The thing is, if housing is regulated there won’t be “cheap” housing for digital nomads and they won’t come. For richer immigrants the result is pretty much what is happening here: only houses being built are luxury ones but none for the working class.

      I don’t think so. People aren’t going to Portugal because housing is “cheap”, they can get that anywhere. They go there because Portugal is beautiful, safe, and has a rich culture.
