EU Commissioner for Energy and Housing Dan Jørgensen described the housing situation in Europe as "completely unacceptable," highlighting the increasing difficulty for ordinary citizens to afford stable housing. In an interview with Euronews, Jørgensen emphasized that the crisis is leaving many people unable to secure a roof over their heads. He announced new measures aimed at addressing the issue, including stricter regulations on short-term rental platforms. These platforms, often linked to vacation homes, have been criticized for reducing the availability of long-term rental properties. The EU is now considering policies to ensure more housing options for residents. Jørgensen stressed the need for a balanced approach that supports both homeowners and renters. The crisis has sparked debates across member states, with some calling for urgent action and others advocating for market-driven solutions.
