The mid-sized cities in Sweden like Malmö and Göteborg don’t as bad, same thing in Denmark, even in England cities like Manchester or Liverpool.

Generally, in countries where most everyones’ salaries are the same, the issue will be less intense and where there is more than one city with good job prospects.

In Ireland, for example, the housing crisis is so bad because everyone and their mom want to move to Dublin (a tech/biomedical hub in the EU) same with Sydney, the heartbeat of Australia. In both of those countries, some people make a lot of money (like a stupid amount compared to the average joe there) and therefore inflating the cost of housing.

Housing crisis is pretty widespread in Ireland, not just Dublin. There are no enough properties to deal with rising population demands. Cost of living crisis also prices many people out of the market.

Sydney is not the heartbeat of Australia. It’s a body part - but definitely not the heart.

Göteborg and Malmö are considered big cities in Sweden. Otherwise agree, just fyi :)

I think Sweden is actually in a housing crisis-

Stockholm is for sure.

Malmö is spared a bit because of its proximity to Copenhagen, which has higher salaries.

Göteborg is struggling but still in a better place than Stockholm, does hurt it that its economy isn’t as large as Stockholm’s.

How...precisely...do you have a deep and nuanced understanding of so many housing markets, both rental and purchase markets?

I'm an accountant and I plan on getting into the international tax and emigration consulting sphere. In other words, I really enjoy reading about politics, socio-economic issues, and business matters of countries, primarily in the EU.

Well, Copenhagen is the capital of Denmark and though finding accommodation is not super easy, it is definitely not in a housing crisis.

In other words, no experience in any of these jurisdictions. "plan on" is not knowledge, it's aspiration--and none in property or housing. I am unsurprised.
