Responses in Amsterdam, where property prices have been rocketing due to a crippling housing shortage, have ranged from astonished indignation to wry resignation. An estate agent has been caught offering for rent a 35 square meter apartment, boasting its own "private kitchen", for 1,100 euros a month. Just a couple of catches, however: cooking is strictly prohibited and no more than two people are allowed into the flat at any one time. Amsterdam has been undergoing a property price boom in recent years, bringing costs back almost to the levels before the 2008 financial crisis. Prices in the Dutch city have risen nearly 22%.
