  • Depends. In Holland it's very clear, not enough houses are being built for the amount of new/young people needing one.

    This is because the destination plans FORCE an area to remajn same usage, business ind, agri, forest/nature, commercial. There is almost no mixing there.

    The new projects that do continue are almost always mostly for richer people.

    And the poor areas arnt desirable..

  • I got out!

    Rented out my apt to others and the tiny difference to my advantage was enough to sustain myself in south America (working a bit and or volunteer or living in free housing(my ex's)

    I now got some more money (sold the apt) and do holiday rentals here, but even without that it's just few hundred per month for food and going out, maybe 95$ extra for social local Healthcare (for 2!)

    Don't ever think you need to be a millionaire to get out. Government guaranteed bonds pay 9.5% per year.

    So each 10k usd you put in a guaranteed usd account = 87$ free money each month. Need 50k for bit over 400$/mo which is the local minimum wage. 100% government guaranteed (if you split in 2 banks)

  • Thatchers plan would have worked if and only when:

    LAND IS PROVIDED FOR NEW PROJECTS (destination plan on national provincial and local level)

    ALL INCOME FROM RENT TO BUY (or similar) IS SPEND ON NEW PROJECTS

    ALL PROJECTS ARE GUARANTEED BY THE BUILDER (no excess costs for any reason : sign your profitable contract but then you are obliged to deliver exactly what is promised or you'll never get another gov project again)

  • No, it would BE BOUGHT by government at fair price (they know the fair price, just look your houses tax bill)

    Or built by them.

    And then rented out with a certain maximum rental price per Sq Mt like 10$ so 50sq m (500sq ft) = 500$/month

    Most importantly, they would be obliged to make it Energy efficient by their contract with the state so much lower electric and heating bill, maybe even topped off with solar, would be small percentage of a new building but cut costs for actual people.

    Not saying it's perfect in Holland (they have shortages because no new land available to build new social housing projects), but it sure works!

  • I Holland we have woning bouw organisaties That are BY law obliged to offer services and structured management, checked by impartial state department and who can be relieved of function (transfering the properties to another organization or splitting them up etcetera). Yes, needs to be overview, laws and such. Maybe even subsidies for new buildings.

    But NO PROFIT ANYWHERE.

    Not for public basic housing. Come on, do we really wanna admit RUZZIA and CHINA beat us on this?
