We just rented a 35m2 one bedroom apartment in Matosinhos 700m from the beach for 730.00/month. How is that unaffordable for a Portuguese couple making 2000-2500.00/month? 150% of Portuguese minimum salary = 1110.00/month.
Minimum salary in Latvia is 620.00/month and Portuguese grocery and restaurant prices are 40% less than Latvia.
But I agree with everything written here about the "Socialist" government.
The oligarchy in Portugal has figured out how to restore the cartelized Estado Novo economy without its fascistic ideology and repressive police state.
