Housing crisis due to the very few people who can afford this overpriced visa?
The same Spain that has empty villages in the countryside?
Thank God it was the Golden Visa and not the doubling of rents and AirBnB.
Good.
Millionaires & billionaires need not apply.
With those 50 available mansions we should now be able to curtail the housing problem.
This title makes no sense only non-EU citizens need visas. EU citizens well are citizens of the EU….
This is probably some leftist partys doing, in Portugal they have the same tactic.
Yeah its not 15 indians living in one room, yes a room not a house, its the spoiled brat of some millionaire that is rising houses/room prices lol
Yes this absolutely the problem with housing in Spain. Could not possibly be something else like private equity funds owning the vast majority of rental and commercial properties and new home ownership being non existent
Spain has literally millions of empty homes, mostly from the property bubble era. It has full blown ghost towns that have never been inhabited. The strong focus of the economy into a handful of cities makes it hard to do something with them, though, and makes entire regions little more than wastelands.
Finally, Europe seems to be waking up from its neoliberal slumber on this.
I yearn for a return to public housing policies too.
FUCK that was my ticket out of the US
You gonna stop the boatloads of illegals?
You gonna stop shipping them all over your country?
You gonna stop offering them free housing, supplies and money while your own citizens starve and freeze?
You gonna close and control the border?
You gonna deport anyone? Maybe even just the rapists and murderers?
You gonna stop telling everyone that the plan is to bring even more in?
No?
Just wanna stop the people that can afford it and, y’know … contribute?
I know the article is about Spain.
But, my questions are for all of Europe. Considering the name of the sub.
The funny thing is that there are lots of places in Spain that could do with investment, with people actually buying housing.
Just because some areas are overpopulated, don’t stop investment in other areas.
How many people does this actually stop from coming in?
You really can’t judge a policy like this without numbers. On the face of it, it looks like “do *something*” without actually doing something.
For a mass problem like this, trimming a few rich people from coming in just isn’t going to matter. You *must* build more housing. You don’t have enough for your population, immigration or no. And rich people are likely a tiny fraction of all immigration.
