Yeah, the article mentions Greece:
> "With the third-lowest wages in the EU, paired with rising home prices, the share of overburdened residents in Greece is nearly triple the EU average."
Greek wealth is higher than German wealth, due to the rising home prices. Germans usually don't own homes. Or anything else. Most Germans have effectively no savings or property, at all.
Imagine that our rulers in czech rep. tell us to "shut up and be more like Germans" and rent a place.
Maybe we could think of it like : in DE the rents are still cheap and the wages are high enough to lower the urge to access ownership, also compared to France for example it is easier to get a rental. They won’t ask you for so many guarantees and background checks etc… these factors might play their part too. In some EU countries , depending on your ethnicity, job sector, ability and so on it is sometimes easier to buy than to rent at the end of the day.
