Forget Affordability. Europe Has an Availability Crisis. AI-Generated.
Across Europe, widespread talk of a “housing affordability crisis” has dominated headlines for years. But policymakers and economists are increasingly sounding a different alarm: the crisis is no longer just about steep costs — it’s about fundamental scarcity. Even if rents or prices could be tamed, there simply aren’t enough homes to meet demand, especially in major cities and booming regions. This availability crisis — where supply falls far short of population needs — is now reshaping urban life, labour markets, and social cohesion across the continent.
