Most people who live in my part of the world don't even thinking about buying a house. It is near impossible for the average person who earns just a little above the minimum wage to even fathom of buying a house. They just can't afford it. Most are resorted to long term renting as have already been stated.
No way mate. I know house is one of those things that many individuals are dreaming of. It is no surprise as it gives you comfort. A house is still a house even if it's only small, so I don't think one won't afford it if they really try to. There is also loans that we can avail to build a house immediately. Renting seems more easier and cheaper at first thought but if we think deeper, it is actually costly. People needs to change that kind of thinking to make their life much better.
The government no longer have a low-cost housing scheme. Because of their poor planning and corruption it would be a project that would be already dead on arrival.
Maybe for your country and others country, unfortunately, but for some, they might still have a chance. But even without the government's help, we still can do it on our own.
