> people don't want to live outside of the city center Are home prices just outside the city center stagnant?

  No, but they are don't rise nearly as much as real estate prices in city centers, and it's mostly irrelevant to the point I was making, because it doesn't matter how the prices are outside of the city center if you want to live in the city center.

    > they are don't rise nearly as much as real estate prices in city centers Pick the low-hanging fruit. More housing outside the city centre (with requisite transit infrastructure) still means more-affordable housing. That, in turn, should relieve pressure on the centre.

      Many cities and areas close to major European cities have good transit infrastructure, yet people don't want to live there, they want to live in the city. So making more housing outside of the city, again, doesn't solve the actual problem facing major European cities.

        > yet people don't want to live there This is obviously untrue if the prices have risen.

          What?

            If prices for houses just outside the city haven’t fallen, there is clearly demand for them.

        Such as? I don’t think the other commenters meant areas requiring a 1-2 hours commute but actual suburbs
