Tres millones de viviendas : Cómo pasar de la escasez a la abundancia

Housing has become the primary obstacle to the progress of millions of people in Spain. If you lack the ability to choose where or how to live, every other aspect of your present and future is constrained. Personal ambitions run up against problems that—while appearing individual—share the same roots: rising demand met by stagnant supply, increasingly stringent credit requirements, a society that prioritizes protecting existing property, an administration mired in bureaucracy, ineffective or counterproductive policies, and a private sector lacking sufficient incentives and still weighed down by the aftermath of the real estate bubble. The result is an endless queue where progress is made only by those who already possess capital or inheritances. In this rigorous and revealing analysis, Jorge Galindo dissects the factors that brought us to this point and the barriers we must confront to reverse a trend that erodes and harms the health of our cities, our economy, and society as a whole. Far more interested in seeking solutions than assigning blame, the book outlines a vision for the future: facilitating access to millions of homes over the next decade—in the very places where people want to live—for those who need them.
