A mission impossible, “the mayor can not afford to buy housing accountability” is the scientific

It is reported that recently a province that will work with mayors to sign the responsibility of symptoms related to ensure that low-income families in the province with 8-10 years of “net” savings will be able to afford around 80 square meters of affordable housing If low-income people can not afford to buy in the room, will be held directly responsible for the mayor.

accountability mayor asked people are generally concerned about the housing problem, but such specific standards, we can see the province to improve the living conditions of people’s determination to large. From a policy point of departure, the will of ordinary people in low and middle income housing and local government leaders linked directly linked to performance evaluation, the embodiment of a new concept of development under the guidance of the Government to improve the welfare of the public housing care and thought is worthy of recognition. However, carefully weighing the “low-income people in affordable housing,” the livelihood of the people of this beautiful picture, but can not help but make people worry about its feasibility.

First of all, “so that in low-income people can afford housing,” the default logic of the premise that “in the low-income people have to buy a house” to solve this part of the housing problem for the crowd, which almost is an impossible task. Looking at the world, no country can do in low-income people has its own house. Even in many levels of economic development, higher level of welfare protection in developed countries, a significant portion of white-collar population must rely on renting to solve the housing problem. Statistics show that in most European countries, housing rental rates even more than 50%. Therefore, “Home Ownership” good intentions can not simply rely on “buying a home” to achieve.

followed from a realistic look to the existing reserves and the supply of land resources, the level of a very long period of time are difficult to meet the huge demand for housing, “in low-income people have affordable housing,” I am afraid will become unable to fulfill the responsibility of the short, as a means of accountability is really to be the mayor, or to allow mayors burn or may not be held responsible because in the end become a mere scrap of paper.

in the current housing supply structure, the accountability of the mayor as soon as possible to solve the problem of low-income housing is indeed a direct and effective means of control. However, having a good desire is far from enough, a policy can eventually realize the need for scientific and practical design and verification, and on this basis, accountable government in charge of personnel with practical significance, but also can be done really serious . Specific plans for housing the people’s livelihood, the first of urban public housing system, low-income housing in the level of the establishment of a scientific evaluation system. For example, in the previous term of office of mayor, city affordable housing, low-rent housing system and other public housing development plans have been implemented? Whether funds were being implemented? Urban real estate development indicators in the total proportion of the development of public housing is standard? Low-cost housing in low-income people covered whether to expand? More specific indicators may include, urban low-income housing in the level is not increased, to what level? Annual urban land transfer payments what proportion of revenue for the development of public housing and so on. Only people with the actual level of housing is closely related to each family of data indicators and the mayor’s performance evaluation together can be determined on the mayors to solve the public housing system have a strong, practical impetus.

Chinese version:一个不可能的任务 “买不起房问责市长” 是否科学

据报道,近日某省表示将与各市市长签订相关责任状,确保全省中低收入家庭用8到10年的“净”积蓄就能买得起80平方米左右的经济适用房,如果中低收入者买不起房,将追究市长的直接责任。

问责市长问到了百姓普遍关心的住房问题,而且标准如此具体,可见该省改善民众居住条件的决心之大。从政策的出发点看,将中低收入老百姓的住房问题与地方政府领导人的政绩考核直接联系挂钩,体现了新发展观指导下政府对改进民众住房福利的良苦用心,值得肯定。然而,仔细推敲“中低收入者都能买得起房”这幅美好的民生图景,却不免让人担心其现实可行性。

首先,“让中低收入者都买得起房”,其预设的逻辑前提是“中低收入者都要买房”以解决这部分人群的住房问题,而这几乎是一个不可能的任务。放眼世界,没有一个国家可以做到中低收入者都拥有自己的房子。甚至在很多经济发展水平、福利保障水平更高的发达国家,很大一部分白领人群都要依靠租房来解决住的问题。统计表明,在大部分欧洲国家,住房租住率甚至超过50%。所以,“居者有其屋”的良好愿望绝不能简单靠“居者买其屋”来实现。

其次从现实看,以现有的土地资源储量和供应水平,很长一段时间内都难以满足庞大的住房需求,“中低收入者都要买得起房”恐怕会成为无法兑现的空头责任,真要以此来问责市长,要么让市长们焦头烂额,要么可能因为最终无法追究责任而成为一纸空文。

在目前的住房供给格局下,问责市长对于尽快解决中低收入阶层的住房问题确实是直接有效的调控手段。但是,光有好的愿望远远不够,一项政策最终能否实现,需要科学、务实的设计和论证,在这个基础上,问责政府负责人才具有现实意义,也才可能真正作到严肃认真。具体到住房这一民生大计,首要的是对城市公共住房体系、中低收入人群的住房水平建立科学的考核体系。比如,在一任市长任期内,城市经济适用房、廉租房等公共住房体系发展规划是否得到落实?资金是否得到落实?城市房地产开发总指标中发展公共住房的比例是否达标?廉租房覆盖的中低收入人群是否扩大?更具体的指标可以包括,城市中低收入人群的住房水平是否提高,提高到什么水平?每年城市土地出让金的收入有多大比例用于发展公共住房等等。只有将老百姓实际住房水平等与每个家庭息息相关的数据指标与市长的政绩考核联系到一起,才能对市长们下决心解决公共住房体系建设产生强大、切实的推动力。
