> with flats with just two bedrooms going for more than half a million euros in the centers of Lisbon or Oporto. A figure that no Portuguese middle-class would ever be able to afford in this life. Not to retract from the article, but the city center on the capital are never supposed to be affordable for the middle-class anywhere in the world. This is the most premium space of the whole country where everyone wants to live, and housing is limited, so only those able and willing to spend top money (e.g. the wealthy, not the middle class) are usually able to live there.
