Raleigh's property prices have soared by over 70% within last five years. According to the most current data, the average sales price for a house in Raleigh is $379,000.

(b) One reason for this is low interest rates and high demand for rentals have benefited investors, particularly those priced out of the market. While the pandemic has contributed significantly to rising housing demand, it is only partially to blame for the supply constraint.

(c) One possible solution is to improve financing for the existing homes]]> 2022-05-20 01:36:20 UTC https://padlet.com/qssteacher/b8jd0xyw9t5hnvd5/wish/2192220475 Frankfurt, Germany (Netra) r_netra https://padlet.com/qssteacher/b8jd0xyw9t5hnvd5/wish/2192224666  Currently, everyone in Germany has an average of 46 Square Meters of living space. Even though it is seen as a lot from other countries, housing is becoming increasingly scarce and expensive in Germany.

Population growth, slow construction and competing demands cause Germany to have a housing crisis. Huge demands and limited supplies have also increased the prices of rents.

One way to improve the situation is for Germany to make good decisions, build quicker and find more resources. With the lack of materials to build more houses, there are very few houses in Germany.]]> 2022-05-20 01:39:42 UTC https://padlet.com/qssteacher/b8jd0xyw9t5hnvd5/wish/2192224666 Kenya (Zayed) https://padlet.com/qssteacher/b8jd0xyw9t5hnvd5/wish/2192227320 Housing affordability is a challenge in Kenya with many people unable to afford to buy or build their own home. Houses are also very small, making it tough for people to live in it properly. Building bigger houses and allowing everyone a job can avoid and stop the poverty that is happening in Kenya]]> 2022-05-20 01:41:47 UTC https://padlet.com/qssteacher/b8jd0xyw9t5hnvd5/wish/2192227320 Cleveland, Ohio, USA (Angeline) angeline_ng https://padlet.com/qssteacher/b8jd0xyw9t5hnvd5/wish/2192230090 a) Many residents are loosing their homes 
b) It is due to a drop in apartment construction(there actually has been a construction boom of luxury apartments but the private market is not producing any additional rental units that are affordable for the lowest income Ohioans) and the COVID-19 situation worsened the problem. The increasing of housing prices due to a rising trend in the housing market.
c)Creating more units, helping low-income homeowners repair their homes, and investing in time-limited rental assistance.
Increase capital investments and rental assistance programmes. ]]> 2022-05-20 01:44:09 UTC https://padlet.com/qssteacher/b8jd0xyw9t5hnvd5/wish/2192230090 United Kingdom (Aiden) aiden_lee_le_yii1 https://padlet.com/qssteacher/b8jd0xyw9t5hnvd5/wish/2192230144 UK faces an accute shortage of affordable housing

One of the reasons is climate change. Some of the UK’s 29 million homes are situated in coastal areas that will become inhospitable due to rising sea levels while others are so old that it will be difficult or costly to retrofit them with more climate friendly insulation and other changes.

Building houses is the simple answer, particularly more affordable homes for people to buy and rent.

 privatisations, bankruptcies and construction scams have created a housing sector in which many feel cheated. Due to these scams, over 200000 people had been scammed using such scams and around 3000 abandoned building projects

as In the old Union of Soviet Socialist Republics(USSR), housing was a guaranteed right. and now as the USSR are gone, these scams run rampant nationwide, these scams include Falsifying Payment Applications, Billing for Unperformed Work, Subcontractor Collusion and Manipulating Change Orders.

c) use the land well for agriculture as the land there is lots of futile land as Red River Valley region is known for fertile lands, due to its close location to the Red River.

In Kolkata, India’s urban housing shortage rose 54 percent to 29 million in 2018, from 18.78 million in 2012, according to a recently published research paper.

b) India's urban housing shortage is more a result of congestion, lack of tenure security, and inadequate basic services in existing informal housing, rather than the lack of material housing structures itself and because of its growing population.
