> flats with just two bedrooms going for more than half a million euros in the centers of Lisbon or Oporto. How is that different from other places? Houses in the center of big cities are always a lot more expensive than others far away from it. Want a small one in the center of Rome? Here you are: 27mq, 2nd floor and no elevator, no heating, no air conditioning, abysmal energy efficiency, no kitchen, renovation needed, only €600,000. What a bargain! https://www-tecnocasa-it.translate.goog/vendita/appartamenti/roma/roma/60616621.html?_x_tr_sl=auto&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en-US&_x_tr_pto=wapp https://www-tecnocasa-it.translate.goog/vendita/appartamenti... No thanks, I'll rather spend less than one third for the 7 times bigger house I'll be soon relocating to. I lived most of my life near the center of Rome; if you come as a tourist I concur it can be a wonderful experience, but after decades of traffic, noise and pollution, leaving for a much quieter and cleaner place with plenty of space for my hobbies is the best thing I could do. And it's also much cheaper. YMMV of course.
