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?

    Huh, seems kinda strange to include Ankara and not Istanbul.
    First off, Ankara is deep into the Asian side of Turkey.
    Also, Istanbul is a city I’d MUCH rather live in, that’s where the action is!

      Why would either be included? It’s about Europe, not Asia

        I think Istanbul is actually in the European continent. Or at least most of it. Cross the bridge and you’re on the Asian continent. Remember EU is not the same as Europe.

          One part of it, not even most of it. If a little part of something defines that something then France is an island in the pacific.

            Fair enough, but you can still say France has an island in the pacific.

            I’m only saying it wouldn’t be too strange to include Istanbul.

            But no strong opinion it to be honest.
