The housing crisis is affecting all major cities, you hear about it everywhere. Spain is uniquely impacted, though by:

1 - being a highly desirable place to live

2 - having already had a mass migration of its population from the rural to the cities

3 - being incredibly bureaucratically incompetent

I don't think people who haven't lived here can fully grasp the ridiculousness of the bureaucracy and the delays. Each step of the asinine processes involves months, upon months in between and it's for every single step you take with the government... immigration, setting up a business, your housing construction permits, etc etc.

Shit. That’s crazy. And they say Italy has too much bureaucracy.

And then there’s the dollar tanking against the euro.

Sounds like you’re getting clarity for yourself though.
