Europe's rental prices
Europe's rental prices
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?

They seem to be going for capital cities. While the Hague contains the parliament and ministeries, Amsterdam is the capital.
I'm not sure how they made the selection, but considering the inclusion of cities like Geneva, Munich, Reading, Karlsruhe, and Lyon, I doubt they had capital cities only in mind.
Still a bit weird to leave out Amsterdam.
Also they include Ankara but leave out Istanbul?
Both ought to be left out. Ankara ist completely in Asia and Constantinople is more than half in Asia.
Seeing that Constantinople doesn't even exist, it should definitely be left out!
Especially since it would be at the top of the list at 2275 for a 1br apartment
Having London and Reading, which isn't far from London, as the examples isn't really representative of the nation.
It is representative of the relevant parts though
runs and hides
Ah yes, youre right! Strange list if you ask me
It's not just capitals. There are some odd choices in general, Munich is listed, which is the third largest city in Germany, but the second largest which is Hamburg is missing, but for some reason Karlsruhe (22nd largest city) is listed. Similar for France, Lyon (3rd largest) is listed, but not Marseille (2nd largest).
Munich was picked because it's the most expensive city in Germany. No idea why they picked Karlsruhe, though.
Geneva is not the capital of Switzerland, Bern is
Indeed, now I'm lost with this list
