Xie Weizhen advocates 5 strokes to optimize the sale of subsidized houses

Xie Weijun, member of the Legislative Council of Architecture, Surveying, Urban Planning and Garden Realm, met with the media yesterday to talk about the issues of concern in the new year. He suggested using the “5 strokes” to optimize the subsidized sale of housing system and establish a well-defined home ownership ladder.

First, re-scheduled the types and positioning of subsidised housing, including further increasing the proportion of HOS flats reserved for White Form applicants in response to the continuation of green housing, and the creation of HOS flats for new non-public housing applicants or new Funding plan.

Reforming the lottery system to increase the chances of losing

Secondly, increase the income and asset ceiling of the first-floor project or redevelop the flats to help more middle-income families and young professionals buy their homes (revenues ranging from $74,100 to $93,000 and from $2.25 million to $3 million). assets). Thirdly, he thinks that the design of flats, unit spacing, decoration materials and supporting facilities for public housing, green housing, HOS flats and first homes should be different. He extended that if the authorities decide to rebuild the house, they may consider reintroducing private participation.

Fourthly, the Initiative has studied the establishment of a “funded sale waiting list” or reformed the existing lottery system. He explained that if the applicants lose lottery (which can cover different funding schemes), the chances of winning the next application will increase accordingly. For example, if he loses 3 times per draw, he will be issued one more application number for the next application, which will double the winning rate; 3 consecutive numbers will be issued for 6 consecutive draws; 9 losses will be awarded 4 Number.

Fifth, private resale of all newly-funded housing (including the “Baiju II” plan) is prohibited. He further suggested that the government or the Housing Authority could repurchase the units and redistribute them to eligible applicants to prevent speculation and maintain subsidized sale of housing.

In addition, he proposed “3 strokes” to ease the pressure on the middle class. First, timely relax the mortgage limit for first-time home buyers, provide mortgage subsidy to first-time homeowners, assist the middle class to get on the bus and reduce the burden of their mortgages. Second, add a rent allowance of up to 100,000 yuan per person per year to To alleviate the rent expenses and tax burden of renters; thirdly, to increase the allowance for education expenses for children whose parents are up to 50,000 yuan a year.
