Gonzalo Bernardos points out public administrations as key to solving the housing problem

Housing continues to constitute one of the main problems facing current Spanish society. Real estate prices continue to skyrocket and, meanwhile, salaries have not risen at par and have remained stagnant, which has generated great inequality when it comes to accessing or renting a home that especially affects the youngest.

The economist Gonzalo Bernardos has spoken about all of this again, who on his X account, formerly Twitter, has once again analyzed what is happening with housing and has directly stated that the solution to a problem of such magnitude corresponds to public administrations.

"What is the diagnosis of the housing problems in Spain? The solution to most of the problems lies with the Administration," he published on his profile on the social network, where after asking that question he explains the measures that should be adopted.

These would include "increasing legal security for landlords and plot owners" or generating "greater speed in the granting of construction licenses." Bernardos also explains that there should be an increase in the buildability of urban land, a decrease in the minimum surface area of ​​apartments or a reduction in taxes for buyers and promoters.

Likewise, the economist urges to reduce the requirements necessary to build properties (with the possibility of being able to build low-cost homes) or to carry out a more rapid conversion of agricultural land into residential. Finally, it also mentions the return of the figure of the urban planning agent.
