just check out ads on Polish sites and on spanish sites...also check stats on apartments in EU and Europe...and how many of them (apartments) are in Poland per 1000 people and how many % of them are overcrowded...
I am far from complaining on the country where I was born, but this is actually something that has the reasons to complain about.
Living in outskirts of Wro/ Dlugoleka/ whatever is not the same like living in , lets say Downtown. so yeah, the flats will be cheaper there.
I remember dramatic spikes in prices of rent just 2 times: 2006-2007 and later 2014-2016 where hords of Ukrainians came :-) btw. I doubt that there are like 200 k Ukrainians there...rather 100-150k in Wro...basically you may say that Wroclaw is going back to its roots as many people there have Ukrainian/ Kresy roots
