PS Charles Hinga: Under the Affordable Housing Programme, we are asking people to pay Sh2,500, the same amount they would have paid as rent elsewhere, for a house that has all the basic services and more.

Thomas Sowell on why rent control is so damaging: “If rent control is severe, people either reduce the amount of housing they build or they stop building housing altogether.” “Political authorities are then confronted with a situation where there’s no new housing built and the old housing is wearing out—usually faster under rent control because the landlords don’t have to keep it up as much.” “So they step in and have some kind of modification. They say, ‘We are trying to protect the poor, so we won’t regulate luxury housing.’” “Of course, luxury housing and ordinary housing use much the same labor and the same materials. Therefore, all the materials that would have otherwise gone into making ordinary housing go into building luxury housing.”

PS Charles Hinga: Tenants in Makongeni were paid but others who have sublet their houses did not inform their sub tenants of the same. Legally, we have no obligation to the subtenants but we have agreed they too will be paid the Ksh.150,000 which is equivalent to 9 years’ worth of rent #CitizenExplainer

In China they believe houses are for living in not for speculation or profit. It has resulted in 90% of Chinese people owning their homes while people in the U.S. struggle to pay rent. China also invests in social housing while the U.S. government gives money to for-profit real estate developers to build “affordable housing” that is NOT actually affordable.

Today, I am proud to announce that I will be proposing “Zohran’s law," a law that will keep the rich out of New York’s affordable housing. Zohran Kwame Mamdani : you say freeze the rent. But for who? Rich people like you? Hardworking, working class New Yorkers are being pushed from their neighborhoods. Let’s build affordable housing that helps the people who need it. Under Zohran’s law, landlords can no longer rent vacant rent-controlled units to the wealthy. You are a rich person stealing affordable housing from the poor. And you’re not the only one. It’s past time we address this injustice. Let’s build a new NYC that works for the people who need it.

Charles Hinga- PS, Housing: The house fund contribution is not a tax but a saving; it confers an individual a direct right to either get an affordable unit or, after seven years, if you don’t want it, we give you back your money plus your return.

Red state or Blue state, the issues are the same. People don’t want oligarchy and tax breaks for billionaires. They do want a living wage, health care as a human right, affordable housing and quality education for all. That’s the struggle we must wage in all 50 states.

Housing is a human right. No one in this city should have to worry about losing their home or end up on the streets due to systemic issues. Homelessness and the housing crisis are not two different problems, they are two sides of the same coin. And they have the same solution – permanent affordable housing. Trickle down economics is a fallacy. The market cannot provide affordable housing. Prices are only going up, driving people into homelessness, or out of the city entirely. Rae will build social housing on public lands and speed up housing production citywide, cutting red tape while keeping in place tenant and homeowner protections to ensure that people are able to keep their homes. Rae will streamline the city’s housing strategy, creating a Mayor’s Office of Housing For All to consolidate these different departments under one roof, with a public dashboard to track progress and hold us accountable.

This woman says Americans should be “outraged” over what Barack Obama did to our healthcare system “This is such a scam” “So I just went down the Affordable Care Act rabbit hole, and I'm genuinely shocked that Americans are not more outraged about this entire thing. The Affordable Care Act subsidies that the Democrats are requiring to extend in order to reopen our government are subsidies that are paid with taxpayers money Obama said, "You must use the Affordable Care Plan or pay a fine or get insurance elsewhere. You must have insurance. You must use Obamacare. It will be affordable." And then, it ended up not being affordable at all, so we had to subsidize the cost of it with taxpayer money that is paid directly to insurance companies who are causing the driving up of health care costs in the first place. This is such a scam and people aren't outraged? Like, it sounds so noble that the Democrats want people to have affordable health care, but Obama forced people to have affordable health care that wasn't affordable at all so taxpayers have to pay it, but we pay it directly to the private insurance companies that make health care unaffordable. — This is wild”

We should have applied national insurance to income on wealth. That would have brought in a lot of money and it wouldn't have put our small businesses under strain" "I represent a group called Patriotic Millionaires, we absolutely don't think wealth is a dirty word, suggesting that asking for fair taxation of wealth is saying wealth is something dirty is nonsensical" "Asking for fair taxation of wealth is not punishing anyone. Asking working people to pay more national insurance and income tax, that is punishing people"

We have to ask this Mr President, why is it so difficult for you as the ANC to advance the interests of black people ? We are the majority and natives, yet black people are the ones who suffer the most in the country. What hurts people the most, it’s a black government that has failed them even with basic services such as water, electricity and safety.

SITUATION EXPLAINED: Why does rent control create the exact housing crisis it claims to solve? We asked Rob Henderson, senior fellow at the Manhattan Institute and author of Troubled. "If you just say, 'I'm going to make this thing cheaper,' or 'I'm going to prevent the price from increasing,' that sounds great to a lot of people because they don't understand how market economies work." "Often to make it more intuitive, I'll point out that in cities where they have implemented rent control policies, those are the cities that have the worst housing shortages. San Francisco, the Bay Area... they've had rent control policies for decades. Has that improved the housing situation or has it only made things worse?" "People would rather manipulate prices than to build more housing."

In 2021 Glenveagh were as good as gifted the public land at Oscar Traynor Woods. Today, their profits are up 103%, for every unit they deliver €50,000 is pure profit while their ‘affordable housing’ isn’t affordable and their building standards have resulted in work having to be halted! The private market does not have the capacity or the interest to provide genuinely affordable housing, this is why we need to break with them and end our dependence on profit-driven developers. A state construction company can build genuinely affordable housing because first and foremost it exists to house people, not to make a profit off of peoples housing insecurity. That’s the difference. In 2025 we need a bold and radical housing movement to fight back against the governments failed housing model. There are alternatives. There are solutions. Join PBP and help us build the fight for a future that puts people before profit!

The Labor Party and the Liberals combined to add 10% to the population of Australia in just 5 years. Here is what this genius economic policy did to housing costs in my city of Brisbane: - The four-bedroom house I rent with room mates costs $900 a week, up from $500 a week in 2020. So we pay $20,800 a year extra for the exact same house. - The house would have sold for $700,000 in 2020. It’s now worth $1.3 million despite no material changes to the house. - You could have bought the house for a 10% deposit of $70,000 back in 2020 and paid $2,500 a month in mortgage repayments. - Now you need to save $130,000 to make a 10% deposit and need to pay $7,015 a month in mortgage repayments. - Current rent is $3,600 a month. The mortgage would be $7,015 a month. It is literally cheaper to rent forever than to take on 30 years of debt to own the same property. - When I tried to rent this property I had to first apply for 70 different places and was rejected from almost every single one. I would line up for a house inspection with hundreds of other people, most of whom arrived in the country extremely recently. - Australia has the second highest dwelling construction rate in the OECD. Yet we still have a housing crisis. Ghee, I wonder why people are mad. Must be online bots and discontinuation mate.

You saw my recent video showing low to middle-income homes at Catherine Estates. Today we look at development taking place in other sections of the housing market. While we have made significant strides in providing middle and affordable housing, we recognize the challenges in the low-income and achievable housing markets. That’s why we continue to incentivize development, provide land, and introduce initiatives like the Guaranteed Purchase Programme (GPP) to attract more builders to this sector. We want to see developers build 10,000 homes at a time, bringing houses to market at a much faster rate. With continued investment, capacity-building, and a long-term vision, we will ensure that every Jamaican has access to safe, affordable housing. We are committed to delivering quality housing for Jamaicans under our housing policy and the transformation of Bernard Lodge is just the beginning. As we continue on this journey, we reaffirm our commitment to the people of Jamaica, because under our housing policy, homeownership is a promise we intend to keep.
