In recent months we have been attending an increase in concern among the general population, and especially the young sector, about rental prices of the homes. Faced with strict regulation, the real threat of occupation and the increase in demand, we see how property costs continue to rise year after year.
In the midst of this problem that some politicians seek to combat with even more restrictive control or the creation of ‘khrushchevkas’ style buildings, more and more people, young and not so young, have ended up resorting to a solution which, although it is not so desirable in what until a few years ago was a “country of owners”, it does seem effective: share a flat.
Once they are independent of the family home, the trend is increasingly shifting towards having to pay the rent for a home with several rooms among several people, in order to spread the expense until everyone’s pocket can afford it. What was previously considered typical only of boys and girls in the university or youth stagenow often extends beyond thirty, even 40 years.
In the midst of this public debate about a social problem in which there are several ways on the table to try to find a solution, uA young man of Spanish origin has shared a video on social networks that has sparked controversy and that helps put this whole discussion about youth independence into perspective. The boy, who has moved to the capital of the United Arab Emirates, announced the price he pays for the rent there.
