Nothing new factors accompanied by the last economic crisis that took hold in housing and from which we did not finish leaving when we were already immersed in another economic-health crisis, such as unemployment, immigration, the increase in population or the fall of salaries accompanied by the rise in rental or purchase prices have made it difficult for a large part of the Spanish population to have access to housing in recent years.
A solution to face this problem, nothing new either, would be the determined impulse at the national level of social housing from the different administrations: properties OWNED BY THE STATE or by a MUNICIPALITY that are rented at affordable prices to people with limited resources.
The vulture bottoms were going to shake.In Spain they began to be created in 1911 with the 'Law of cheap houses', which was maintained for almost 20 years.
The phenomenon took on importance again from the 1950s.
In fact, according to the study 'The public and protected housing stock in Spain, an analysis from the European context', between 1957 and 1989, more than 100,000 social housing units were completed.
official EVERY YEAR.
However, in 2018 the owners or applicants warned: the construction of these houses had fallen in recent years to levels of the 50s, despite the fact that there were more than 400,000 applicants and more than one and a half million people whose income did not They allowed them access to free market housing.
In all of 2018, around 3,500 houses were built.
Ten years earlier, in 2008, the keys to 63,292 were handed over.In the protected housing business, there is the paradox that public administrations are the largest landowners, but they do not promote it by arguing a thousand excuses.
For the "occupiers" to get into closed bank houses, it would not cease to have its certain grace and divine justice if over time we do not pay all its clients, rich and less rich, those assaults on properties that they want or not, they are private but to get into a worker's house.
That has neither divine nor human forgiveness or any excuse and the direct culprits of it are the different public administrations at all levels for their blatant abandonment of functions.
It is true that some politicians and their acolytes say that the system is to blame and it is also true that they themselves are part of that system and being able,they do nothing to improve it.The portfolio of "clients" of the public administrations usually comes from land transfers of all kinds that developers and private owners have to reserve by virtue of percentages established within urban plans without any control over the final price for construction professionals .
The logical thing would be for the administrations themselves to promote to establish their public parks of 'social' housing for sale or rent, thus protecting the most disadvantaged.
Or, failing that, that they sell or give the land to private development or neighborhood cooperatives and negotiate affordable prices and conditions for the final buyer.
In practice, neither one nor the other.
The reason is that the Administration, in general with an economic-liberal mentality,It is not able to remove the mantra that selling or GIVING these lands is not DESPATRIMONIALIZING IT, but giving them social utility and reinvesting in the community and in the quality of life of all Spaniards.
As on the other hand it reflects our own Constitution.The sector estimates that 2.5 million homes with some type of protection are needed, one million immediately (2035 target) and, the rest, in the longer term (2050 target), for which the idea of public-private collaboration.
According to data from the Ministry of Development, 5,167 units were finished in 2018, 92% less than the 68,587 that were built in 2008, a decade ago, and in 2019 they barely reached 5,000 houses.
From 1960 to the present, the seven million VPOs existing in Spain have practically disappeared due to their conversion to the free market when the terms expire.Can local corporations work to tackle this entrenched demand for housing or is it only the responsibility of the autonomies and the State within this tangle of governments, little governments and governments and their different and sometimes contradictory laws? Well let's put a practical example:The Seville City Council approved in 2018 the Municipal Housing Plan 2019-2023 that includes 20 concrete measures for the development of housing policies with a public and private investment of about 318 million.
For the execution of this project, the budget of EMVISESA (the Seville PROINVITOSA) amounts to 42,540,311 euros in 2020.
It follows that the management of both companies from a bird's eye view and each one at its level, is far from being similar and from having achieved the same objectives.These 20 measures can be divided into two blocks:1.
Measures to increase the stock of affordable and social housing in the city with the aim of reaching 3,500 and a public-private investment of 280 million.2.
Social aid programs and home renovation with a budget of around 38 million euros.Within these blocks it should be noted:1.
Reactivation of policies to promote private housing through the affordable rental housing program.
The goal is to reach 1,000 homes developed by private developers.2.
The promotion of VPO and social public housing.In total, between the promotion of a new plant and the rehabilitation processes, the objective is to exceed 1,000 new public housing for rent or for sale with an investment of more than 100 million euros.For the execution of this phase is scheduled for 2020:- Start of the promotion of the 552 rental homes that already have financing through the European Investment Bank and the ICO.
The designs have been made following criteria of sustainability and energy efficiency.- Tender for projects for 86 homes and 50 intergenerational accommodations in Cisneo Alto, García Ramos and Calle Sol.3.
Intervention on the empty house.New program for the acquisition of empty homes through a loan obtained in the ICO: The final objective of the plan is to acquire 550 homes in five years and a total investment of more than 14 million euros.4.
RehabilitationProgress will be made in the rehabilitation projects of Los Pajaritos and Tres Barrios.
In this area it is expected to act in these five years on a total of 300 homes with an investment of 21 million euros.5.
New formulasIn this plan we want to open the door in Seville to the development of protected housing cooperative projects on municipal land through open bidding processes.
In this strategy we set a goal of three cooperative projects that can be developed and that can reach around 400 homes.Si los políticos de Totana no se hacen responsables y se centran seriamente en cerrar un PGOU acorde con estos objetivos sociales y no de particulares y en reducir una deuda faraonica que ellos mismos han ido generando a lo largo de los últimos 20 años (porque literalmente son los mismos) para asi poder invertir y participar en políticas sociales de vivienda en los próximos años, que ya hemos perdido bastantes.
El problema de la vivienda irá en aumento y llegará un momento, ya está ocurriendo, en el que ni jóvenes ni mayores podrán acceder a una vivienda pero a mayor y más sangrante escala, con todos los problemas que de ello se derivan.¿Será también con el tiempo achacable todo este problema de la vivienda al fascismo reinante en Totana y a la falta de solidaridad de los totaneros?.
Bueno si me pongo, hasta podría argumentarles perfectamente que sí, por supuesto.
El papel lo aguanta todo pero esta critica política no va dirigida al Gobierno local actual en particular, sino a todos el general.Carrillo.Responsable de #accióntotana(La casa de la foto también se puede ocupar si les hace falta.
Esta sí que es de todos los totaneros).
