Portugal's residents struggling with rising rents | DW News

When the goverment only serves money.
"Social harmony is something precious" sounds true.

Enough with the greed. Citizens first.

Portugal is a joke. Is a good country if you came from Ethiopia or you are an oligarchs. Tourist and digital nomad kill the market, all the rest are exploited cheaper slave mainly you are doomed.I’m Eu citizen I was offered 1000€ net pay for a call center in Porto. I risked to end up homeless or food bank unless you do not have a second and even a third income. To buy food, bills, healthcare and survive sharing with other six people. Run 🏃‍♂️ folks.

Hello everyone. Portugal is a beautiful country

2024/07/02

Ao senhor de Oeiras. O povo português precisa que o país construa novas casas, é verdade. Por enquanto, o povo quer viver na sua cidade e não na periferia. Queremos que as cidade mantenham as suas vidas nacionais.

portugal is now to foreigners 🤮

🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸

Who cares?

Portugal send half
of its poorest population to Brazil in the 1900’s. It has only 10 million people to manage and is part of the EU. If your country still is in economic downfall despite all that than it’s your own fault

The golden visa was a short term money boom.
Longterm the country will fall far behind, with all the money going to investors.

Corruption of so called officials/politicians is a cancer worldwide. Mafia rules everywhere for the moment. They are being outed now. People need to wake up. God says my people perish for a lack of knowledge. The truth sets you free.

Thats how I know america is completely broken. There are people working 13 hours a day in portugal to afford to have a decemt life there, but at least they get education and Healthcare, so I envy them. What a nightmarish situation the elite have forced the proletariat into worldwide

as a Portuguese living in poverty is easy because my deranged Pride makes me ignorant + blind so i cope easy by Ignoring the sad reality... it's fun 🤣

Yes, lets take land from the agricultural reserve instead of using the thousands of buildings that are abandoned. This guy is so funny.

if you want to now why its going on just read Vladimir Lenin

😮

You are working your people out and letting corporations in. That's the main reason for what you are going through.

The portuguese goverment owns THOUSANDS of empty buildings! They are incompetent. For that there is no solution.

The real problem is the main party in power Partido Socialista, who is in power for 50 years.

Portugal becoming a sad place for nationals and loosing the beauty and culture it had for greed and criminals taking advantage of it all ...

They will distroy there own country when the let kapitalistic invastior docwhat they want. This sharks are one intresting in money not in people

OH MY GOD, seriously? MARIO ? Another rich c****...Feeds on the poor. Some one PLEASE INVESTIGATE THIS DEEPER!

OEIRAS MAYOR IS A CRIMINAL!! HE WAS ARRESTED !! AND NOW HES BACK!! Stealing again. Read my other comments. And google the facts. Some one help this country! PLEASE HELP US!

back in 2016 minimum wage was 580 euros !!! I basically paid to work. Modern slavery. I got sick and depressed and almost died. When I was at my 38 years old and my parents had me and a house when they where 23 years old! It is NOT FAIR!!!

People still don't see that tourism is killing everything around here. As a natural portuguese residence, and as a waiter at a restaurant, I can day with much conviction that tourism is simply a plague around here. "Portugal lives from tourism" and therefore many portuguese people are looking for a living outside of country. We are loosing our originality and more importantly, our country from ourselves.

Asking a real estate agent whether you should buy a home right now is like to asking an alcoholic whether they think you should have a drink lol. Homes in my neighborhood that cost around $450k in sales in 2019 are now going for $800 to $950k. Every seller in my neighborhood is currently making a $350k profit. Simply unreal. In all honesty, deflation is what we require. The only other option is for many people to go bankrupt, which would also be bad for the economy. That is the only way to return to normal.

Está situação é muito triste, vou demorar a visita a Portugal por alguns anos. Ou posso check in em um hotel 😂

Portugal is gonna crumble soon, might want to visit before a civil war breaks out

Lies...all lies!!The price of rents is not high because of tourists...they are high because of mass migration!!But DW is financed by the German state (globalists) so they will never tell you the negative consequences of mass migration

"You will own nothing and be happy". The housing crisis has become a global problem. I still don't understand how people can be happy being slaves.

Bro, i never understood tourists renting an entire house for 1 day, when i travel i sleep in parks or beach during the early hours of the morning because i spend the whole day and night VISITING PLACES, not moving to another country for a day...go to a guesthouse wtf

Hasan piker would say, that's unhinged

The whole goal is replacing the population with immigrants by making housing unaffordable for their own people.

Ban Air bnb! It’s hurting housing in the US as well.

Move to Ohio people...

Britânico aqui. Por isso que fui embora, de volta a minha cidade em Inglaterra depois de 9 anos a trabalhar lá. Mesmo não presta por 840 euros depois impostos

More and more we going to see this type of not news, is just part of the 2030 agenda wich is trying to supress all type of independent business and separated us as a community blaming visible brands such as airbnb. Private property is on risk as we hear more word expropiation, wich occurs in countrys like Venezuela or Cuba. The housing problem is real but it has being a problem before airbnb exist, property owners that invest on realstate as a business they want profit, simple, goverments around the globe are blaming tourism or housing brands for their mistakes and corruption thru the years. We have to see all perspectives of the situation. In my case Buenos Aires is a large city of south america full of slums or villas miseria as some people call it since the 1930´s and now you see people struggling to find housing or rent incresing, but the slums or villas are bigger and bigger, so were is the problem? Airbnb or bad goverments who now are seeking to make profit from something that it appears handy.

I had to leave my apartment in Porto. They raised the renting price for my apartment from 600 to 1400 euros per month in a matter of 4 years. It is ridiculous what they are doing in Porto. Tourism and AirBnb are destroying the cities.

THIS IS HAPPENING ALL OVER THE WESTERN WORLD. We are being fleeced by the oligarchs in all our countries!!!! We need a global revolution.

Never trust Isaltino Morais. He is corrupt (he already did jail time) and just wants to destroy the only natural park to earn money for him and his friends. He is in power since 1986 and did nothing for social housing.

The government can simply put a price cap for specific regions

The reason is HUMAN GREED !!!!

Tourists/AirBnBs > Local Citizens

I don't get it, if you walk around in Lisbon, or any other socalled "tourist" town in Portugal you see hundreds of derelict, abandoned properties or unused office/manufactering properties which could be turned in social housing or low rent projects very easily by the country. Not very hard to do, if they can do this in the Netherlands, Belgium, Germany, Austria, Italy, France why not in Portugal. Tourists influx in Portugal has just started, 100.000s of Northers Boomers are going to migrate south in the next 20 years, so now is the time to get your act together.

Imagine a world in which everyone had access to affordable good housing. In this world could banks survive? No. It is not tourism that is causing the crisis it is the banks.

I'm portuguese and I have to say there's another problem that wasn't mentioned here: public transportation!! Portugal is a small country and it would be easy to connect major cities to smaller towns with many fast trains, allowing people to have decent lives, further away from the major cities, also allowing the growth of smaller towns. But reality is way different: either you own a car and spend hours trying to get to the center of the city... or you'll have to live in the city, with your parents or sharing an apartment with other people.

Portugal could be an amazing country... fair to its people, turists and new residents from other countries. But it's like everywhere else: money rules.

Influencers ruining the world one country at a time

wages are too low rents must be capped
