It surpises me that only 6% of "the Dutch" report that housing is a financial burden. Ask anyone here and they'll all agree the housing market is fucked and everything is way too expensive.

This is what happens when you open your country to be bought by foreign "investors", as it happened with Portugal and Americans.

When you have countries much larger and wealthier than you, they will pump the housing market to unsustainability, driving the locals out of their houses.

But hey, GDP and the waiter wages have increased, so there's that.
