My view on Chinese low-income housing plan

From Chinadaily website,i read a pieces of news regarding with our newly coming low-income housing plan.

This plan will introduce new guidelines this year to provide housing for lower- and middle-income Chinese who cannot afford private houses and do not qualify for low-rent and subsidized housing provided by the government.

I consider this plan will be an important supplementation to the previous program.In the previous program,government planned to provide subsidies for the low- and middle-income family whose conditions are in accordance with regulations of the government.

However,there are lots of problems during the implementation process.For example,some cheating deeds are found in the process of providing subsidies and checking out who can receive subsidies.In additon,most of the low-income family still don't have the ability to afford a house even if the government provides them subsidies.

So this plan is a progress.

But can this plan solve all the problems? The answer is apparantly not.

Maybe we should change our mind.we needn't to have everyone own a house,but we need everyone have a house to live in.

The government should provide a house to the low-income family and charge them for a low rent.When these families' situation is getting better,they can move out of the house and buy a one of their own.Then ,the government can provide the house to other families.

Above is my point of view, welcome your comments!

  2. How I wish I can afford an apartment of my own in 10 years. Just to think about those fancy clothes I have to give up for the payment of house and child's education. That is HORRIBLE!
