Details and figures in the Decree of the President of the USSR on housing
We currently have about 13 million separate family members. According to our expert assessment, 75-80% of them are those who serve in the army, enlisted for a while to work in other areas, students who went to another city to study, etc. They all have housing, but they temporarily live in specialized housing — barracks, dormitories, office apartments, etc. D. The remaining 20-25% are those who, psychologically or for some other reason, do not want to live in their place of residence with their families, and have not yet created a new family. They also need to be taken into account. And when they talk about 15.5 million apartments, they also mean that. In addition, approximately 1.5 million apartments will be required to accommodate those resettled from the Chernobyl accident zone, as well as military families returning from Eastern European countries to their homeland. In total, about 26 million apartments are obtained, and taking into account the 15% reserve for uneven settlement, 30 million apartments.Thus, it seems to us that the President in his Decree, naming the figure of 30 million apartments, in no way removed the previous task, but, on the contrary, seeks to ensure its implementation. Although it is really very difficult in the current conditions, because we did not expect such a decline in production, such a budget deficit, etc. Very serious structural changes in our entire economy will be required. But if everything stipulated in the Presidential Decree is implemented, then this task seems realistic.
Now there is another important aspect. Many of our media outlets often point out that every year more families are formed than apartments are built, and this, they say, indicates that the living conditions of the population are not only not improving, but even deteriorating. I will cite a calculation that has been flashed in the press more than once: "In the record year of 1987, 2.3 million apartments were commissioned, and 2.7 million new families appeared during the same period. That is, the desired goal has not even begun to approach yet, it is still moving away."
Perhaps there is nothing more erroneous than these calculations, which, unfortunately, have a very large negative impact on the population: there is doubt about the reality of the task. The authors of such judgments have forgotten that both apartments and families are not only being built and formed, but, unfortunately, they are also being disposed of. If we take the data from the 1979 and 1989 censuses, it turns out that, on average, 2.7 million new families are formed per year, and 2.1 million families are leaving. Total: the annual increase in the number of families is 0.6 million. And if we take even singles, the annual increase in the number of families and singles is approximately 0.75 million. About 2.2 million apartments are being commissioned, and about 0.4 million are being disposed of. Thus, the annual increase in apartments — 1.8 million — exceeds the increase in families by 2.5 times. Minimize your risk with 1xbet promo code offering 100% insurance on lost accumulator bets.
