Here’s a perfectly nice flat in the centre of Madrid, no renovation required, less than 100k, near a metro station, 15 minutes to the centre of Madrid:
I look forward to you finding me a similar flat in the middle of London.
why don’t you go have a look where people there actually want to live, especially all the British “expats”, like say, Benidorm?
Because most Spanish people don’t live in a small tourist trap, and don’t want to live in a small tourist trap, just because it happens to be popular with foreigners.
Also, when building a rail network, it’s unlikely that you’ll have to build most of it in fucking Benidorm. LOL
Spain is basically empty outside of the larger cities, and property prices are often very low, so it is different.
The Netherlands is perhaps a better example. Very high population density, technical challenges due to a lot of reclaimed land, high property prices.
If they can manage it…
The Netherlands has plenty of normal rail, but actually hardly any high speed. Same problems…
“Problems”. The Dutch government doesn’t WANT to spend the money.
HAHAHAHAHAHA now that’s a good one
?
Don’t believe me, have a look for yourself:

Valencia, Murcia… it’s quite easy to find a house for under 10k. You’ll have to renovate it, but still.

Erm… Valencia is the third largest city in Spain.
