Hameln-Pyrmont: 183 new apartments, but housing has to go faster!
In the district of Hameln-Pyrmont, a lot is happening on the housing market. The building union IG Bau Lower Saxony-Mitte reports that only 183 new apartments were created last year. A non -missing sign of the great need for living space, especially affordable and social apartments that are urgently needed to cope with the housing crisis in Germany.
of the newly built 183 residential units were created 76 in the form of one and two-family houses. The construction costs amounted to around 30.7 million euros, an amount that is simply sobering for many. "The housing construction turbo must finally be ignited," says IG Bau and is committed to a faster building of social apartments in order to counteract the precarious situation on the housing market. According to the IG Bau, the housing markets are already overloaded in many metropolitan regions, which significantly increases the pressure on housing construction.
an urgent problem
According to current estimates, there are no 910,000 social housing in Germany, which significantly affects the welfare situation of people with less income. In cities like Munich in particular, horrendous rents were paid, which are often above the average rent. This clearly shows that the state takes rising rents and thus supports the landlords, although at the same time much more should be invested in social housing construction. The state pays over 20 billion euros nationwide for social housing support, while the annual expenditure for social housing is not even 2.5 billion euros.The need for action is clear. As part of a recent [study] (https://mieterbund.de/aktuelles/meldungen/akut-angel-910-000- social apartments-fehlen-in-deutschland/), it is required that at least 100,000 social housing is built per year. In order to make this reality, it requires a comprehensive rethink and a massive investment in social housing construction. A look at the federal states shows where the shoe is pressing: In Lower Saxony alone, around 109,000 social housing is missing.
a proposal for the future
IG Bau therefore suggests that the “building type E” promote innovative construction methods that can significantly reduce costs. A third of the construction costs could be saved by slimmer construction methods and reduced technical effort. If the right measures are taken today, the creation of affordable living space can become a reality - and this is particularly crucial for immigrants, families and people with low incomes.
Today's situation is symptomatic of a single-tutor that-not only in Hameln-Pyrmont-extends across Germany. An increase in the resident population by over 9 million people who live in overcrowded apartments leaves no room for doubt: there is an urgent need for action.
We in northern Germany are required to advance housing construction. The dialogue must be searched to show a good knack for the construction of affordable living space again. This is the only way we can encounter the housing shortage in our cities and municipalities.
