  • Assuming a tradeoff this house would prioritize funding to home ownership assistance programs as opposed to rent assistance social programs

    Infoslide

    The Korean government has a home ownership assistance program where they buy entire apartment complexes and sell them at a substantially reduced rate to individuals most in need (first time home owners with many dependents and low income) but yet prove themselves to be fiscally responsible (by opening special savings accounts and saving for a long time). On the other hand other countries use rent assistance programs by creating cheaper rental properties giving out loans or subsidizing rent.

  • This house, as the government of the city of Cologne, W abandon the UNESCO World Heritage status of the Dome in favor of building residential housing

    Infoslide

    The Dome of Cologne is a UNESCO-World Heritage site that attracts significant tourism and funding related to its heritage status. Funding is used for the (necessary and significant) upkeep of the Dome, as well as infrastructure and social projects. The archdioscese of Cologne (one of the most powerful and wealthy archdiosceses in the Catholic Church) has given buildings they own to the city under the requirement the Dome's status be upheld. UNESCO sites are required to be easily visible, and consequently, Cologne is limited in expanding the city and had to issue a ban on high rise buildings. Cologne is one of the largest cities in Germany, has Germany's largest university, and outpaced demand has caused rent prices to quickly increase.

  • This house would issue housing vouchers to low-income individuals rather than invest in the construction of new public housing units

    Infoslide

    An individual issued with a housing voucher is responsible for finding a suitable housing unit on the private market to rent under the program. A subsidy is paid to the landlord -- who must still approve the prospective tenant -- directly by the state on behalf of the voucher recipient. The value of this subsidy is approximately what is needed to rent a moderately-priced dwelling unit in the local housing market. Recipients then pay the difference between the actual rent charged by the landlord and the amount subsidised by the program. However, they are not permitted to spend more than 30% of their gross income on rent and utilities combined
