Exactly! Remote work available to more people would also help.
Cities are starting to feel all the same now, so I love staying rural, no food delivery, enjoying what each season brings, and buying less stuff. Cities are hot, full of cars and noise.

I don’t disagree with the sentiment of your comment, but I feel it lacks some nuance.
First of all, where are those empty houses located? A lot of the pressure is in larger urban areas: Lisboa, Porto, Braga, Coimbra. If the houses are away from an urban centre, they might as well not exist.
Portugal also has a huge emigrant community, and it’s common for emigrants to have a house back in the home country, usually in more rural areas, but not always. These houses are a little retirement plan, and tend to stay unoccupied for months or years, only used when that owner goes to Portugal on holidays, or when/if they decide to return.
Disgusting, they shot a kid and made sure he couldn’t be saved:
One Israeli soldier chased Rafat and shot him in the abdomen from a distance of 10 meters [33 feet],” DCIP said.
The Israeli forces shot at Rafat again when a Palestinian man came to his aid, said the group, the only rights organisation specifically focused on children in Palestine.
“The Palestinian man threw himself on top of Rafat and rolled him toward his house, less than five meters [16 feet] away. The man and his family sheltered Rafat for about an hour and a half as the Israeli military prevented ambulances from accessing Jenin refugee camp.
An Irish mad lad
Sadly, shelters are full of abandoned pitties and the like :/ People get dogs like they’re fashion accessories, and that becomes more apparent with breeds that are strong and determined enough to cause real damage. There’s a big overlap of wanting to own a dog to look badass, no actual interest in putting any effort into said dog, and a broader antisocial stance.
Hardly a deterrent for people arriving in cruise ships.
We need to curb mass tourism, not displace it.
Your experience is not representative of the whole. I know a few single moms and many unmarried couples with children.
TL;DR: changes apply to extra-EU citizens, it will be like the ESTA system to visit the US, not a real visa application.
Oh, for a change, Portugal can’t into Eastern Yurop
