Fierce sheet happening in Spain too but hola,where's the comments?
Happening Europe wide, just to different levels and scales. In a nutshell, short thinking housing policies from the 80s onwards, some countries just promoting home ownership over everything else though the evidence was there that affordability was increasing, decade by decade. Throw in the loose credit era, up to 2007 and various state’s relying more and more on PRS to house its populations who couldn’t meet their own housing needs – that came even more unstuck in 2016 with the arrival of Airbnb with the property owners taking back their Lets for their own ever more lucrative short term letting needs. This would have been problematical enough but for the obsession with growth and the demand to see populations increase. We are where we are – and in Spain that’s demonstrations against a Leftish leading government.

Spain is full of half built apartments.Next time you're there take a look around.
I know. Seen enough of them, but as I stated, the issue is now Europe wide, and it is all those factors together. Here in Ireland, while we tore down some newly built stuff after the Celtic Tgier, almost two decades later, some of that stock would have come in more than handy.
