I'm not 100% sure where you are going with "gross ones in the EU context" but I'll try to answer you. Hungary economy has been developing rapidly in the past decade. Real estate has been booming by refurbishing old buildings still damaged from the WW2 and the communist occupation. Hungary has a lot of skilled engineer given its size. Hungarian salaries are growing fast but are still lower than many other EU countries. Hungary has very low taxation (9% corporate tax, 15% income tax). So from an financial point of view is quite conveniente to live in Budapest, there are plenty of new parks, children playgrounds and restaurants and they are all quite affordable if your income comes from out of Hungary. So this is the reason why someone does it. Viktor Orbán is the prime minister of Hungary since 2010. Orban has been more and more anti EU in recent years. I'm a strong supporter of the EU and sincerely all this anti-EU propoganda upsets me and frightens me very much. We were planning to buy a house in Budapest and stay longer but frankly after hearing more and more anti-EU sentiment from the Hungarian government we'll likely stay a couple more years until our child finishes the daycare and then move somewhere else (we do move quite often anyway). Please next time refrain from using an adjective like "gross" while speaking about a country since there is plenty of human beings coming from there and "gross" sounds more like a mean comment than a constructive criticism.
