Spain's Housing Crisis: Millions Face Residential Exclusion

Spain's Housing Crisis: Millions Face Residential Exclusion Millions in Spain are struggling with the country's housing crisis, as reported by RTVE Noticias. The crisis is causing widespread residential exclusion, affecting those living on the streets, in public resources, or in inadequate housing. According to the Observatorio del Alquiler, over 8.5 million people are affected, with 3.7 million facing potential eviction. The video features interviews with those directly affected. José Luis, a lifeguard in Ibiza, explains his decision to live in a campervan due to the impossibly high rental prices: "Hoy por hoy, acá, está todo desproporcionado. No puedo pagar más de la mitad de mi sueldo." This illustrates the desperation many are facing. The report also highlights the growing number of families forced into overcrowded conditions, with some families of seven living in a single room. While social housing is suggested as a solution, it currently only accounts for 3% of the market in Spain, compared to 8% in the European Union. The video underscores the urgent need for action to address this critical issue, impacting the lives of millions.
