ニューヨーク・タイムズさんのインスタグラム写真 - (ニューヨーク・タイムズInstagram)「In Vienna, a whopping 80% of residents qualify for public housing, and once they have a contract, it never expires, even if they become richer. Experts refer to Vienna’s world-famous municipal housing, known as the Gemeindebauten, as “social housing,” a phrase that captures how the city’s public housing and other limited-profit housing are a widely shared social benefit: The Gemeindebauten welcome the middle class, not just the poor. Housing experts believe that this approach leads to greater economic diversity within public housing — and better outcomes for the people living in it. To American eyes, the Viennese setup can appear fancifully socialistic. But what’s mind-boggling is how social housing gives the economic lives of Viennese an entirely different shape. The city’s generous supply of social housing helps keep costs down for everyone: In 2021, those Viennese living in private housing spent 26% of their post-tax income on rent and energy costs, on average, which is only slightly more than the figure for social-housing residents overall (22%). In America, 49% of renters — 21.6 million people — are cost-burdened, paying landlords more than 30% of their pretax income, and the percentage can be even higher in expensive cities. In New York City, the median renter household spends a staggering 36% of its pretax income on rent. What can we learn from Vienna as soaring real estate markets have created a worldwide housing crisis? Read the full story from @nytmag at the link in our bio. Photos by @lucalocatelliphoto」5月26日 7時31分
