“This week, we will be discussing a shortage of affordable housing that exists in many countries. In these places, housing-both apartments (flats) and houses are expensive, because populations are growing faster than new housing is being built. Now, think about places in your country that have a housing shortage. In your post, I would like you to indicate the most effective way for the government to address a housing shortage in your country. Please explain why you think so.”
Claire: In my country, there is a lack of affordable housing in the big cities. Low-cost housing exists in areas outside of the cities, but that means workers have long commutes to reach their jobs in the cities. I recommend that my government create initiatives to encourage the construction of large buildings with many affordable apartments in cities.
Paul: Claire’s recommendation is fine, but many people prefer to live in a house rather than an apartment, even if they have longer commutes. Living in a house can be quieter and more private. So, I believe my government should give subsidies or tax relief to construction companies to build small, affordable single-family houses on unused land that surrounds many cities.
Ans: In my home country India, we are facing a challenge when it comes to providing housing, especially in urban areas where the demand is surpassing the construction of new homes. I strongly believe that the government should take measures to tackle this issue by introducing policies that encourage developers to build housing.
This could involve providing tax incentives or subsidies to developers who allocate a portion of their projects to affordable housing units. Additionally, the government could consider investing in public housing initiatives in areas where private developers may be hesitant to invest. By adopting a comprehensive approach that combines these strategies, we can enhance the availability of housing and make it more accessible for those in need.
