Jan Spiewak about the housing situation. We hit the wall with our head

– You said late on tv that if a young man has no place to live in Poland, then all he has left is to take the flat after his grandma died. Shocking prospect.

– Shocking, but this is the reality we have and this message young Poles receive from the state. Real property prices have gone crazy, we have the most costly credits in the EU, developers are on evidence margins, and rental prices are so much better not to speak. This all at erstwhile consists of a tragic image – if a young Pole does not get any crucial support from his parents, then there is no chance of buying his own, even modest, apartment.

Why is this happening?

– The state's housing policy has been completely privatized. Young Poles have been told from the time of Poland's entry into the EU that the road to their own flat is led by a housing debt and buying an flat from the developer. Practically cooperative and municipal construction was abolished. There is no building that is not profit-oriented and would be within scope of people with average or low incomes.

Why did this happen?

– The politicians of subsequent governments have done this absolutely consciously, and there are respective reasons. The ideological 1 is important. It comes from the presumption that everything state-owned is definitely wrong. specified a large dislike of what people associate with the commune. The favourite argument for boomers is the series "Alternative 4" and making fun of how they were built at the time. Everyone knows the people who got their cooperative flat back then. They may not have been made of the best materials, but after a fewer years of waiting they yet had their roof over their head. Many of us grew up in places like this and turned out to be people.

– And to this day, apartments from the alleged large album are gladly bought.

– This does not surprise me, due to the fact that frequently these are better apartments than what developers are proposing today. Locals are well-planned, scheduled, regular. Blocks were built in good locations, surrounded by greenery, schools, kindergartens, etc., and now apartments are built frequently in an honest field where even the car is hard to park, and the kid to kindergarten parents drive to the another side of the city.

– What are the another reasons for abdicating the state to gathering the needs of citizens?

– Politicians invest in real property themselves and are not curious in changing. Many Members have achieved awesome additional rental income. any people have a fewer apartments. I urge reading the property statements of our parliamentarians.

– I know you don't like developers, but I heard from 1 friend that he built me a beautiful decent apartment, and if it wasn't for the developer, I wouldn't have a place to live.

– I don't mean to insult anyone, but this voice shows how mentally we're inactive those trained serfs who kiss the master's hand and thank him for building them in the 4 chambers. The developer builds and inactive graciously sells these apartments to Poles. truly amazing! Besides, the improvement business, we know it officially, gives money to campaign. It is besides no secret that corruption at the interface between local authorities and developers is gigantic in Poland.

– Or are we Poles a small besides attached to property? Do you gotta buy right away? Or is it better to rent an apartment, as people from all over Berlin do?

– Only in Berlin is that a tenant renting an flat from a private owner can live in it for the remainder of his life, and the rent is regulated by the state. If a evidence was made in Poland that rent could not be raised freely, then a terrible scream would have happened. In the West, housing is officially regulated and the privateer cannot come and throw out the tenant after a year of housing or rise prices by 30%. In Poland there are many obstacles, including housing owners are afraid to sign contracts with families with tiny children.

– People rent a seat or live in an angle with their parents, while hundreds of thousands of apartments in Poland are empty. How do I explain this?

- Yeah. They're empty, they're kept for investment purposes due to the fact that the flat won't eat. erstwhile I was just finishing my latest book called Patostate. About how the elites ravage our country, It turned out that about 10% of the apartments in Warsaw were empty. Of course, there are apartments of different status, any are subject to inheritance proceedings, etc., but anyway, tens of thousands of apartments in Warsaw could be rented. individual late sent me an offer of an flat for sale. flat from 2003, improvement state!!!

– Deregulation in construction is needed?

- Deregulation? After all, the construction and urban process is already completely deregulated in Poland. Nowhere else is simply a free American like ours. Developers in Poland can build a castle in the mediate of the reserve. What does the government want to deregulation? So the developers can start building flats without windows?

– Recently, Minister of Funds and Regional Policy Katarzyna Pełczyńska-Nałęcz wrote on her social media: I am very pleased that available housing has become the central subject of public debate. This is simply a success, due to the fact that it means that people are looking at politicians and bad solutions will not be accepted. And the good ones have a chance of coming into force, against different lobbyings and established arrangements. Do you think there's a chance that apartments will become more accessible?

I don't truly believe that. Minister Katarzyna Pełczyńska-Nałęcz wrote that the funds for social construction had been "back door" cut off. The Minister said that the remaining PLN 618 million was 4 times little than it was for social construction during the regulation of Law and Justice in 2023. This, in my opinion, is the scale of the disgrace of the current government. The money was very small for the Law and Justice, and now it is even less. And in general, there's quite a few confusion due to the fact that the money went to the floodhouse. Either way, there is no consensus or political will to bring about real change. It's a game of wait-out until the debt interest drops and then something happens. Now, possibly these prices are going to start falling a small bit, due to the fact that the supply is definitely higher than last year, and the request is besides low, so possibly it'll adjust itself. specified conviction dominates.

– Poles are getting older and all these properties must be maintained. It costs more and more.

– And here we come to the subject, namely the citizen's trust in the state. In our old age, many of us will be slapping poverty. In Poland, the pension strategy was reformed in the 1990s so that only minimum pensions will be paid to us. It has been ensured that boomers have super-emergences, and younger generations will eat debris. quite a few people were thrown out of the pension strategy due to all these weird B2B deals and so on. Therefore, specified a default way of saving more wealthy Poles to quit became buying apartments for rent. It's a safety cushion for many. And the rest? The remainder of them are pounding their heads against the wall.

– What do you mean, everything we're talking about, summary?

– We have a “box state” and we are attacked by a “patodeveloper”. In our country, feudalism and chaotic capitalism shake hands over the heads of citizens. Why do Polish housing estates match caged housing alternatively than being good places to live? Why do Poles repay the most costly mortgages in the Union? Why do millions of Poles not have access to public transport? Why have there been the same faces in politics for 35 years? We truly live under the business of the elites who think only of themselves; they think of how to slip.

– So that leaves the flat after Grandma?

– Only not everyone has a grandma like that. For me, Polish politicians are a German political class. These are nobles transferred from the 18th century any drunken brawls who would sale their parent for 5 PLN. We have 1 of the worst political classes in Europe. These are people who feel no work for the state at all. They despise plebs. They have apartments for rent, they live from plebs, they have their peasants serfs. Even if the leaders of the Left live like this – specified Robert Biedron has respective apartments – what are we talking about? It shocks. Why did average people begin to miss the regulation of a strong hand? This is frightening, but in Poland we are not governed and let's not be amazed that people like Donald Trump win elections in the US. People want individual to take all of this by the face and cut all of it to pieces.
