Chapter 1818

The old man and old woman were very excited. They said, "County Magistrate Su, is what you said true? Can we really live in public rental housing?"

Su Xinghui nodded, "Of course it's true. The county government has already started building public rental housing in the new district. It is expected that the first batch of public rental housing will be delivered for use by the end of this year. In your situation, you can start applying now."

The public rental housing project in the new district was developed by the Hongtu Real Estate Development Company. Since the end of last year, this project had been developed by the Changshan County government to improve the housing conditions of residents. It was also developed by the Hongtu Company with its own funds through land replacement, and the Changshan County government didn't spend any money.

Su Xinghui's governance philosophy had always been to focus on people's livelihood. In addition to increasing residents' income, improving residents' living quality was also his key focus. He didn't want the people of Changshan County to be unable to afford housing after the economy of Changshan County developed well. What was the use of such GDP? He hoped that every ordinary person could enjoy the fruits of reform and opening up.

At present, the housing conditions of the urban population in Changshan County were not optimistic, with an average housing area of less than ten square meters. This was because various units had built dormitories one after another in recent years, which greatly improved the housing conditions of employees and also increased the per capita housing area; otherwise, the per capita housing area would be even lower.

And these laid-off workers might be the group with the lowest average housing area. Like Zhu Tie's father-in-law and mother-in-law, they originally had two rooms in the corridor-style apartment building, but now they gave one room to each of their two sons, and they lived in this shed. One room was only ten-plus square meters, and the two sheds added together were only ten-plus square meters. What was the average housing area of their big family?

And could this shed be considered housing?

The two old people had lived in such a shed for several years, which was really unimaginable.

Su Xinghui hoped that he could increase the per capita housing area of Changshan County to at least fifteen square meters or more during his years in Changshan County, and the most urgent task at present was naturally to solve the housing problem of these laid-off workers living in shantytowns.

Letting them live in such a place was inhumane to people; it was a crime.

The two old people were very excited. They were so excited just because they had a hope of improving their housing. It was really unimaginable how excited they would be when they really moved into a new house.

The old woman wiped her tears and asked, "County Magistrate Su, if we live in this public rental housing, in our situation, how big a house can we live in? How much rent do we need to pay every month? How long can we live there?"

The questions the old woman asked were also the common questions of almost all ordinary people applying for public rental housing. This was the answer they most urgently wanted to know.

Su Xinghui said, "The specific policy hasn't been introduced yet, but I can tell you the general framework first. People who apply for public rental housing are those whose current per capita living area is less than ten square meters. The public rental housing we built this time has several types of layouts, designed according to a per capita area of fifteen square meters or more, and determined according to the total number of people in the household. The rent won't be very high, about one or two mao per square meter per month. As long as you meet the conditions and don't have other houses, you can live there for a long time."

The points Su Xinghui said were very clear and understandable, and the two old people nodded repeatedly after hearing them.
