There are different opinions on whether to buy a house after 1980s and whether to buy a house for young people. The problems of real estate and house prices are quite complicated, which may be related to China people's consumption ability and concept, but certainly have nothing to do with the so-called "American dream". In today's China, the real estate industry is no longer an industry and commerce in the general sense, but an area where the interests of finance, investment and even the government are most concentrated. Some people like to call the real estate industry "bubble economy", and the concerns contained in it are not unreasonable. Indeed, according to the current real estate market's ability to absorb social wealth, once something goes wrong, young people's dreams will be shattered, and many people's disposable income will be wasted in the future, which will even affect the country's financial security, price stability, currency preservation and social stability.
People are discussing why house prices are so high. Some people accuse the land price of rising too fast, and indirectly criticize the government for improperly operating land to boost housing prices. Some people use the concept of "rent-to-sale ratio" to analyze, saying that house prices are extremely abnormal. Others believe that because there is no better investment channel, nothing is like real estate speculation to make money, and there is no way to speculate on high housing prices. In any case, today's high housing prices are a cold reality, and it seems that there will be no big change in the near future. Even so, if I say "young people don't want to buy a house", I'm afraid I can't escape even if I add modifiers such as "better not" and "not in the near future". Why? Because many young people will say that the house is not only a house, but also related to people's sense of security and happiness, and even related to boys' sense of responsibility. Some people may ask, "Do you already have a house?" "Have you read the poem The Great Shelter for the World's Poor?" "Do you have an intellectual conscience?" In short, this is difficult to answer.
Several assumptions: Assuming that the housing requirements of young people are fully met, should the housing requirements of migrant workers in cities be met, when and how? We should know that not only migrant workers, but also laid-off workers and stall vendors in many cities are facing the dilemma of rising rents and not being able to afford houses. Is it unfair not to take care of their sense of security and happiness?
If it is assumed that the government provides land free of charge to reduce housing prices and substantially raise taxes to make up for the capital needs of urban development, what about this method? This method sounds good, but the question is who to tax? How much is the tax? Once the tax is expanded, you buy a cheap house today, will you complain about the unfairness of the tax tomorrow? If the question of "should young people buy a house" is extended and assumed to be a question of how young people buy a house, the angle of thinking may be different. In his new book Ant Colony, Lian Si, a young scholar, describes the plight of some young people who live in big cities, have unstable jobs and have no place to live, and expresses deep sympathy. But he is also puzzled by the values of contemporary young people: "Ant Man has dreams, but these dreams may be manifested in the form of having a house and a car in five years. Some people criticize this generation of young people for being too materialistic, but such values are taught to them by reality. " He is worried that if young people are constantly anxious and suspicious about the meaning of self-struggle and blame all the faults on society, the road of life will really get narrower and narrower.
When foreign media such as The Wall Street Journal and Time Weekly in the United States paid attention to the "dwelling phenomenon" in China, * * * put forward the argument that "development will inevitably bring problems", which may be the conscious experience of developed countries. As a developing country, the problems we face, including "young people buying houses", naturally have their own characteristics. Therefore, we may need to emphasize the spirit of hard work and self-reliance, rather than unnecessary arguments.
