      Does anyone know of any realistic plan that could be executed to lower the rent prices significantly? Pre 2019 levels at least? On country level, or on EU level?

      Honestly, I would just leave Spain at this point. Spain is not going to getting any better for the foreseeable future. They are already not a particularly wealth country and there retirement Ponzi scheme is in the process of collapsing right now. There is no real political solution to there issue that are going realistically reasonable. If I was young and in Spain , I would GTFO given you have free movement to do so.

    3. Despite having a leftist government Spain is still unable to tackle this issue. I wonder why the government is struggling to address it.

    4. Make remote work normal for jobs that can be done remotely. There are so many dying cities and villages everywhere and governments don’t know how to entice people to move back into them. Well maybe if you didn’t force everyone to go into an office in the 3 or 4 major cities 🤷

      This is happening everywhere across Europe, and let me say that Spain is the only country protesting for this…

    6. That’s what people should think about when they know about the Spanish economic wonder…

      EU level problem demands an EU level solution. We’re all suffering from high rent prices and something has to change.

      What is sad is that since 2008 it is super hard to buy anything, and that issue was still not fixed and it is still an issue. Then issue 1 + Covid = buying is 200% harder. then Issue 1+2+war (s) = buying is 300% harder. Also is harder to maintain a couple life or to find someone so that at least to make it 50/50 the payments for life. Then AI boom and new wars and more tension, and renting now is a problem.

      How it will sound when a general will ask young adults to fight for their country, for the values > values: no future house possible with one salary, living with strangers so that rent is not too much of the shitty salary, taxes on every money won (tax on salary, tax on tax, tax on purchases, tax on internet, tax on medical visits, tax on electricity paid, tax on the right for electricity, tax on land (by land… in apartment, there is no land..). Yeah… 23k people protest, and even if all Spain would protest, EU and western world would do nothing, cuz there was a guy who was giving each a house and he end up… well google it.

      How can government address capitalism unless all the realestate is bought/rented by rich foreigners who use it as an investment/visa thing.

      Anyone owning more than 5 properties should be forced to sell. All of a sudden we have a flood of properties become available.

      Force okupas out and clamp down hard on squatter mafias. Force banks to sell their reclaimed properties instead of hoarding. All of a sudden we have a flood of properties become available

      Politicians can’t own rental properties – force them to sell. All of a sudden we don’t have conflicting interests
