Have low taxes on the rich or have a equitable society which works for the most and more young people are able to afford homes with rent controls like Vienna(a slap on the face of the real state rent seekers).
We can choose one.
What should Portugal say?
Guess we need communism then.
In all seriousness, communism was horrific where I am coming from, from most points of view.
But it managed to address this issue. A whole neighborhood would be build at a time, with all services integrated. The build quality was better than today (this problem specific to my country). People would be assigned a place to live based on their marital status and number of children. Also, a lot of people from the countryside would be moved to the city like this, giving them a chance to escape the shitholes they were born in.
There was some gentrification though. The best apartments / houses would be reserved for the party and the security apparatus elites.
I am pretty sure this system could be improved today. But it’s not gonna happen, will it? Since everything is tied to land and property prices and rent yields.
lol cute, ye think yer housing crisis is bad.
Despite the low birthrates in Europe, many of its countries are currently experiencing population increases thanks to immigrants.
At the same time, nearly everybody is against construction of tall buildings in high-density neighborhoods. This type of urbanism not only mitigates housing problems, it is the most environmentally friendly. But, everybody hates it, left and right
So, it’s basic economics. You have a considerable increase in demand while offer hardly changes. This can only lead to higher prices.
Being rich is relative, we can’t have everybody having a rich lifestyle because then, you’re just middle class.
Boring. I have seen this already. What other old chestnuts do you have? No job generation? No freedom generation? No peace generation?
yk what’s funny? Canada and Europe have basically nothing in common but their lack of military and housing shortage
This article is not fair for pointing the “influx of workers”.
Those workers cant afford the house too.
It is the influx of CAPITAL that is the core problem. The post pandemic stimuls all over the world. Free cash given out that got invested and that pumped the prices of various assets and stocks.
That simply devalued our work vs assets.
Plenty of rich people are buying up all the newly built large house with gardens where I live. Why bother building something more complex yet efficient like apartments, when you can knock up a bunch of houses in a fraction of the time and effort. Public transport links? Nah, use cars.
Who gives a shit about rising land prices anyway? Only poor people.
The wealthy who own their own homes want to turn housing into a subscription service for life. Barely getting by as they soak most of your money up through rent.
You can fix housing problem, when 20%+ of your population are gone or migrated, due to war /s
Reduce regulations and allow people to build affordable residential buildings
People in the comments still pretend that mass migration has no effect on the demand for housing.
You mean its hard to buy a house in a country with the highest number of millionaires per capita in the world? I am shocked, SHOCKED!
Oh switzerland AND Europe.
Land value tax
