demand
lots of people want to live there. rents go up.
And there are always openings because they all starve to death?
no, the demand is very recent. 10 years ago nobody know wtf lisbon was. now is i very 'hot' place to travel/live, hence the rents skyrocketed.
It's also become "Europe's China", the place where all manufacturing goes from companies that want a "made in EU" label.
So there's a huge influx of workers, driving up the housing demand.
isn't that because it's economically underdeveloped, hence cheap wages for such work?
yes
It's like 3,000 years old...
