It's impossible to pay rent in Lisbon while earning median salary as one person (855€ average rent for 1 bedroom apartment vs 1200€ median salary).

At this point, there's no reason for anyone new to go live there.

My partner and I moved to Lisbon about 6 years ago. We lasted 3 months after it became clear that the rent was more expensive than what we had just been paying in Sydney.

I love how this HN thread immediately turned against tourists and ignored the impact of the cryptobros.

There are a lot of tourists, and a comparatively tiny number of "crypto bros".

When it comes to shit like Airbnb, etc, in cities such as Lisbon, the "crypto bros" are less than a fraction of a percent.
