Reiterate that land for simple public housing will not be changed in use
Chen Guoji also mentioned the consideration of simple public housing, saying that the supply of public housing in the next 10 years can meet the demand, but due to the problem of construction time, most of the completions will be concentrated in the next 5 years, and relatively few in the first 5 years.
The government wants to solve the housing needs of the public early, so it launched simple public housing under such circumstances.
The areas of public housing were originally used for other purposes. Generally, these lands will only be used for 5 years, and then they will be returned to their original purposes.
The government understands that citizens are concerned about transportation facilities, and the government promises to deal with it well.

The rent of the simple public housing is several thousand yuan lower than the market price.

Please support the simple public housing housing this large-scale social engineering project.
He reiterated that he would not change the land use. If it took a few years to let the grassroots go upstairs, it would be a good thing for the whole society. He hoped that everyone would display the spirit of mutual assistance and mutual understanding.
