    Spain is basically empty outside of the larger cities, and property prices are often very low, so it is different.

    The Netherlands is perhaps a better example. Very high population density, technical challenges due to a lot of reclaimed land, high property prices.

    If they can manage it…

          I can find a house without renovating for under 10k in bumfuck England too, does that make property in the UK cheap?

          Instead of saying “Valencia or Murcia” why don’t you go have a look where people there actually want to live, especially all the British “expats”, like say, Benidorm? How’s finding something bigger than a matchbox for under 10k there going for ya?

            Erm… Valencia is the third largest city in Spain.

            Here’s a perfectly nice flat in the centre of Madrid, no renovation required, less than 100k, near a metro station, 15 minutes to the centre of Madrid:

            I look forward to you finding me a similar flat in the middle of London.

            why don’t you go have a look where people there actually want to live, especially all the British “expats”, like say, Benidorm?

            Because most Spanish people don’t live in a small tourist trap, and don’t want to live in a small tourist trap, just because it happens to be popular with foreigners.

            Also, when building a rail network, it’s unlikely that you’ll have to build most of it in fucking Benidorm. LOL
