In practice, this would mean that the government makes arrangements with municipalities about including a minimum percentage of mid-market rental housing in zoning plans. Moreover, as a higher-level body, the national government can coordinate between localities and is less affected by local pressures, such as NIMBY (Not-In-My-Backyard) protests.
Therefore, I was very happy to hear, yesterday, the Minister of the Interior presenting a new housing agenda. This agenda is meant as an accelerator to ensure the construction of 75,000 new houses each year until 2025.
