Scrutiny Matters Feedback - Affordable housing
Details:
- Stop the non-sense of being able to retract or ask for a higher price before court. In the rest of the world: you make a formal offer, and deposit 10% of the price down. You lose itif you don't buy. The seller can't come back on their decision to sale.
That will enable people to negotiate better and sell their homes in tranquility, fluidifying the market.
- Understand that, sadly, not everyone will have a house. When land availability is limited, not every one can have a house. Therefor, itis extremely important, when developing apartment buildings, to make them livable and desirable: lots of parks around, playgrounds, dog parks, common rooms such as bike rooms/ surf and kayak storage/ TV room/ lounge (swimming pool, gym), nice balconies.
- Every development should have a % of social housing.
- Try to get some farmland but with a 50/50 rule: 50% housing for/ 50% for forest
