You know, sometimes things look good on a macro scale, but not at the personal level. Both perspectives need to be considered.

I live in southern Europe. If I look out of my window, the tall buildings in front are about 80% shuttered all year round. At the same time, there is an acute shortage of housing in this area. Many families who have been here for generations are moving out, because real estate prices are too high, for both renting and buying.

I can't help feeling something is very wrong, despite the abundance of foreign capital. What do you think?
