According to a recent survey of 30 countries by a poll agency, a majority of respondents in Japan, Germany, Australia and many other countries could not afford to buy a house.
House prices and rents in most capitalist countries have recorded the annual rise of 2.5%. Notably, in Portugal, they have reached an all-time high with 17.6% increase within one year.
With the skyrocketing house prices and rents, many families are giving up their “dreams” of having their own houses. They rent poor rooms or live in abandoned buildings, tents or plastic shelters installed by the roadside or under bridges.
A western newspaper lamented that the housing crisis in the West is attributable to many and complex reasons, but the most underlying cause is with the profit-first mindset.
However, hundreds of thousands of modern houses have been built in cities and counties in the DPRK including Pyongyang and Komdok area at the expense of the state over the last five years and provided to the working people free of charge. During the period of the new long-term plan, the construction projects greater in scope are underway so as to satisfactorily solve the housing problem of the people and continue to create a higher level of civilization.
Every year, people are happily moving into the modern houses built by the state with lively housewarming celebrations. This reality has become commonplace in our country and in our people’s life, giving them a dream and hope for a new and more civilized life and new happiness.
