Quality of Life in Funchal, Portugal

Due to increase of tourism, the price of house rentals (and purchase) have doubled, at the very least. Some house that were meant to be rented are now being used as AirBnB's. As an example, 5-10 years ago you could buy a brand new 3 bedroom appartment for 150-200k euros. Starting price of the same real estate is about 800k. In the same time, the average wage went from 800€ to 1000€. The reason for said hike is lack of government oversight, and the interest of foreigners on buying property in a relatively safe part of the world. For them, it's a bargain. For locals, it's unsustainable.
As a response to a comment here, I've driven electric vehicles in Madeira. Yes, it's hilly, and the downside to electric vehicles is perhaps reduced autonomy. But struggle? Electrics are nothing but torque. They do not struggle, at all. As for air quality, people can check the official IPMA website, as that's the national weather service, and it's normally good.
Looking at all the indicators of this QLI, I agree with all of them, except for the Cost of Living, for the above mentioned reasons.

Loved reading about Funchal, Madeira. Very informative. Motivated to visit and experience the culture, climate, food, lifestyle. Seems very beuatiful, safe and affordable.
