## Resource

Student housing in the Netherlands remains a crisis, with over 20,000 units still missing despite new construction efforts. While rental market shifts didn’t worsen the shortage—thanks to fewer students and new builds—demand still outpaces supply. Only half of students now find a place, up from two-thirds in 2015, forcing longer commutes. Experts say social housing could build 15,000–25,000 more units if allowed, and propose policy tweaks like removing profit taxes and easing campus building rules to close the gap.
