There are severe social consequences to housing shortages in cities and only the government can solve these problems. To what extent do you agree or disagree?

These days demand and supply of housing in cities

not meet, which leads to several consequences and can only be resolved by the

government

. I completely agree with

this

as the management in authority works on the housing development plans.

Thus

, it is important to limit the

number

of

properties

an individual can own and better construction plans for rural areas is another possible solution to look at. To start with, enforcing a law to restrict the

number

of

properties

a wealthy can buy will help to mitigate the risks associated with the shortage of

houses

.

This

is because the affluent invest their earnings largely in buying multiple

properties

even at a higher price, and

as a result

, people who are needy, struggle to own a single apartment.

Furthermore

, since real estate pricing is majorly driven by the demand, which is not affordable by the deprived section of the society, it is important to impose restrictions on the

number

of

properties

an individual can possess. Take,

for example

, a business tycoon in India claimed recently that he bought twelve flats in a newly built apartment in New Delhi.

This

proves that if

this

number

is restricted to some extent,

then

many other flats can be purchased by people who are in struggling to find one. Another point to consider is that a flock of villagers move to metropolitan cities to live in concrete

houses

.

This

is because of the low-quality material

that is

being used to build

properties

in remote areas.

Thus

, the

government

should spend more money on constructing sustainable accommodations in villages.

Consequently

, the

number

of people competing to buy

houses

in the cities will reduce significantly.

For instance

, an NGO in India helped to move 30 families struggling to find a house in the city back to their district and provided fundings to rebuild their

houses

by replacing bamboos with cement and bricks.

This

role should be played by the

government

at a larger scale to provide assistance to families in need. In conclusion, I strongly agree that the

government

has a pivotal role to match the needs of all the residents in finding a place to live irrespective of their wealth.
