Details
Submitted by[?]: Partito Radicale
Status[?]: passed
Votes: This is an ordinary bill. It requires more yes votes than no votes. This bill will not pass any sooner than the deadline.
Voting deadline: January 4239
Description[?]:
| "I put before parliament two progressive proposals which would ensure that all Istalians have access to affordable places to live, whether they be rented in the private sector or from the state. The current system means that the state subsidises wealthy landlords who seek to exploit those on low-incomes by setting extremely high rents. It also means that more well-off renters may also struggle to pay rent. This new system would address these issues by make housing more affordable to rent as well as offering an economic boost in the form of a public house building program. Istalians work hard and they deserve home which they can afford to live in." - Arturo Samaras, Minister for Infrastructure and Transport |

| Message | Gianluigi Rosso, Vice AI Leader, This makes my economist heart shrink in disappointment, as it will achieve nothing but a housing shortage, as land lords will be unwilling to rent out homes. The state builiding houses is a good question, but We believe the private sector allocates resources more efficiently and therefore housing should stay private. |

| Random quote: "In a sense we have come to our nation's capital to cash a cheque. When the architects of our republic wrote the magnificent words of the Constitution and the Declaration of Independence, they were signing a promissory note to which every American was to fall heir. This note was a promise that all men, yes, black men as well as white men, would be guaranteed the unalienable rights of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness." - Martin Luther King Jr. |
