There is not enough social housing in Mainfranken. The trade union IG Bauen-Agrar-Umwelt criticizes this.
According to this, a total of 1,670 apartments were completed last year in the Würzburg, Kitzingen and Main-Spessart area, with investment costs of around 776 million euros.
However, the proportion of social housing among them is very small – but IG BAU was unable to give more precise figures.
Housing construction is an important contribution against rising rents, according to district chairman Michael Groha, but it is important that affordable housing is also created. It is therefore crucial to invest more in social housing.
In fact, less was built in Germany last year than the year before. The reason is the rising prices. The IG BAU therefore proposes, among other things, to reduce the value added tax for social housing from 19 to seven percent.
So what is needed is politics in Munich and Berlin. The aim of the traffic light coalition is to create 400,000 new apartments per year, a quarter of which should be social housing. This target was missed by more than 100,000 last year.
