| Message | We know, that is why we would let private companies do the job. Research has pointed out that a public housing system provided by private companies is tha bet way to run things. And, the government would be payed back after a while, instead of just handing over money like it's the case of the current situation. |

| Message | I just want to say that I'm against concentration of poverty, which will be an effect of this bill. |

| Message | There is always a concentration of poverty (look at Warsaw and Cracow). So it is better a controlled concentration than an area where the government has no control at all... |
| Date | 09:44:33, February 19, 2006 CET | From | The Mordusian Green Party | To | Debating the The Meta-Law IX |
| Message | We are swayed by the argument that the establishment of public housing could lead to ghettos. We now oppose. |

| Message | DDP: a city IS a ghetto. In Western Europe we have some very good public housing areas. Beside the LP is not pleased with the fact the government in the current situation just hands out money to people. Without proper public housing areas, without government interference, THAN you get shantyvilles. |
