• Spain suffers from a housing access crisis, particularly among the young.
• 9% of Spaniards claim to feel marginalized when seeking housing because of their sex, origin, age, disability, or economic situation.
• Spain leads European population living in apartments (65%) and has a high underutilization rate. 55% of households are too big for their inhabitants.
• The problem is not only housing scarcity, but also poor resource allocation.
• Housing access in Spain relies too heavily on family income, origin, and luck.
• The Government responds with short term partial solutions and inefficient interventionism, when more offer, legal certainty, and pragmatic policies are needed.

Conclusion: The housing crisis in Spain is a complex issue involving discrimination, poor resource management, and the need for political and supply reforms. There is an urgent need for a more equitable and efficient approach to handle this crisis.
