Housing has become unaffordable for almost half of Europeans, who cannot afford to buy a 50-square-meter apartment. This data highlights the growing crisis in the European real estate market, where prices continue to rise in relation to people's incomes.
The situation has led to radical life choices. A 91-year-old decided to abandon a fixed address and start living exclusively from a backpack, walking a distance of 3,500 kilometers across the European continent.
This extreme decision contrasts with the reality of millions of Europeans who dream of homeownership but are prevented by high prices, lack of savings, and restrictive lending conditions.
The nonagenarian's case symbolically illustrates the distance between the ideal of housing stability and the reality experienced by many European citizens today.
