Queuing system and i to some extent social considerations determine who gets a tenancy. However, several public utility managers are proposing radical deterioration in one debate article in DN. Among other things, exchange bans and lottery systems instead of housing queues.
The basic problem is not the queue system. The basic problem is that too few tenements are being built with reasonable rent levels. However, the market appreciates that people are buying condominiums. It binds the individual to loans and then there is an opportunity to win votes for low interest policy. Low interest policy tends to be more right-wing. Banks rejoice. Like the neoliberals.
A social housing policy requires government support for the construction of tenancies and fair queuing systems. Of course, social factors should be taken into account when a lease is to be signed. There should also be apartments that are weighted towards particularly vulnerable individuals. In addition, there should be good opportunities to change apartments.
In Austria there is a system that enables the construction of good, cheap, beautiful and architecturally varied tenements with an extremely marginal tax surcharge.
