The future secretary of Housing, Ricardo Inti Alpert, gave details this Thursday of the Government of Javier Milei for the sector and confirmed that State financing will not be used for the construction of homes. In addition, he announced that they will bet on the recovery of the private credit and the saving to achieve the “three million works without public spending”. In matters of rentals will advance with the repeal of the current law.
“If the households that are built by public work we give it to one family that I love her buy, The work is not going to stop, it is going to become a private work that will be the domain of a family so no one is left without a job,” he said. Inti Alpert, specialist in habitat and urban development, and who will be in charge of the Housing area under the administration of the president-elect this morning in dialogue with Urbana Play and Radio con Vos.
The axis of the housing policy – he indicated – will be in “lower inflation, raising the level of activity”building, privately, “a million homes in certain types of places, another million in other types of places and the provision of services, infrastructure and papers to a million families in popular neighborhoods.”
Construction of homes without public spending
He stated that the plan is to “make the saving that exists and today the Central Bank has it channeled to become credit for three million families“, without “public spending” to “resolve the housing problem in six years.”
This financing, offered by banks after “disarming the Leliq bomb” and “grant conditions of legal security”, will be provided for particular works.
“Today we have a problem of inflation and stagnation. We have millions of people paying rent of 200 lucas. If these people have a way to put down an advance, of US$ 8,000, US$ 10,000, US$ 12,000 and have a credit of “US$ 40,000, a top quality home is built”he pointed out, and assured that the savings are already, for example, in the Anses or insurance companies, but that “there is no intensive mechanism to channel it.”
“Our first year begins by telling every doctor, teacher, bus driver, firefighter, police, health personnel, programmers, those who work at Rappi, whoever, that they want to buy an apartment, build themselves, expand and that They don’t have a loan; let them sign up and let’s do it,” highlighted Inti Alpert.
He stated that the intention will not be in “creating credits to sustain a price bubble in Caballito and that a two-bedroom is worth US$100,000″ but in, for example, allow “to build an apartment 60 meters above your uncle’s house in Morón.”
Return to development societies
The neighborhood development -Indian- will be in charge of “development societies” and “public service cooperatives” as well as “neighbors”, which will imply “the end of the public work” but “the beginning of the private work.”
“What we say is the end of public works but not the end of the development society, the trust at cost, of the construction company, of the neighborhood group. At the time, in each neighborhood there was a development society that put drinking water and sewersaid the future secretary.
Regarding public works in general, he expressed: “What we are saying is that instead of the State doing it, all interested parties should be called together to, for example, convert Route 7 into a highway.. “There will be a lot of interested parties and beneficiaries and this does not mean that a millionaire will impose a toll.”
“We believe in the organizational capacity of the human person through non-profit entities, companies, cooperatives and civil associations, or through local states but that do sustainable things,” he added.
Rent Deregulation
Regarding the Rental Law, he supported its repeal promoted by Milei, and indicated that the current regulations “did not work” and that “it is of no use to anyone, neither the owners nor the tenants.
“We have 200 elements to say and support because we have to repeal the Rental Law and, in any case, work on the reform of the Civil Code in some of its articles, which is much better than that bad law,” he stated.
