You can check Estonian real estate sites if you don't believe me. You can get a cheaper apartment easily. Like the cheapest 1 room ones are like 40k and outside the capital it's way cheaper still or it was last I checked but that was no more than 5 years ago.

Local candies and food production is definitely a thing here now but according to my parents it was less prominent during the soviet era because you were obligated to give some of your production away to the occupiers. The most famous local candy companies is definitely still running and taste the same according to my mom, they are called Kalev if you wanna look them up.

I looked at Prague prices and it's insane and Nestle bought a ton of candy companies in the EU and cheapened the product which is as expected from Nestle.

Isn't this because half the population left?

??? No idea what this is referencing, as far as I know nothing like that has happened. The soviets gulaged a lot of people and many fled during that occupation but nothing as dramatic like half the population.

I mean post Soviets, haven't all the Baltic nations seen significant depopulation?

Not really. A lot of Russian citizens left or where made to leave when Estonia got it's independence back but outside of that I don't think there has been a major population shift.
