They really need to pass that law, giving the canton the possibility to buy before it is put on the open market, this is what the canton and the people want, and it will be a great long term investment it’s a no brainer.
I feel like buying existing buildings is really not the way to go. There needs to be a push to build new social housing like we had in the 60s.
The whole Schwamendingen is being demolished and new buildings have such a higher rent that the population is changing. Huge towers occupy former farmland in Dübendorf, green areas are disappearing and giving space to parking spots and concrete.
The real state sector care only about money, not affordable housing.
How about instead of dumping money on buying existing housing, the city doesn’t relax building regulations to make it easier to build and then dump that money into building new housing (make it social, I don’t care)?
Not only that’s cheaper for the city, but that money will go into productive economic activity, generating growth (which buying a house doesn’t), and will increase the supply of housing.
The only solution to this problem is building more housing, and lots of it. Nothing else will solve it and will just distort the prices even more.
You’re wrong, this is the American way « remove the rules and it will solve the problem because competition »
Nah… it’s BS, housing should be a human right, we can easily afford it here, not everything has to be under the rule of the market, a long term investment in housing will create money no matter what, stability is gold.
Can the neolibs in all these threads maybe specify which regulations they want removed which somehow makes a day difference in price. And also explain why companies and people that invest in real estate for profit would lower their rents or would request less and not just pocket the difference.
Most important please explain why it’s bad for the city/government to invest in real estate but good for you. If the city buys land with houses on them the value goes up so even they don’t do anything it’s a win on the balance sheet. Also cities can finance loans cheaper so it’s even better. A quick google search shows land prices in the city of zurich are 3x higher than 15 years ago so if the city took a 1 billion loan we would have 3 billion on the balance sheet now or am I wrong? Instead investment forms have it now. And that’s just the price of the land no rent collected yet.
The government has to step in and buy houses so people don’t lose their homes.
Aka giving in to blackmail, the sellers will also get a fat tax free benefit from that.
I hope the price is reasonable, as it’s taxpayers money.
I dread to do the long term maths.
If it’s that bad, then the government might as well do the projects straight up with the construction companies
