*barter economy ping*

” Housing Crisis

Sex for rent is the extreme end of an extreme problem which is catching swathes of France’s most vulnerable people - the young and the poor - in its grip.

France, the government admits, is in the grip of its worst housing crisis since the end of World War II.

Of course, sky-high property prices are hardly exclusive to France.

But some combination of circumstances has left the French - and especially the Parisian - rental market horribly stretched between supply and demand.

And too many people caught between homelessness and bankruptcy as they struggle to put a roof over their heads “

Look into the abyss....

I can understand why property value can be sky-high due to real estate bubble. However, rental price tend not to be affected by the high property value much. That is the common pattern. I wonder what other complicating factor is at play in Paris.
