Luis de MiguelHOST
When Abbie Friedman came up with the affordable housing, he had this brilliant idea.
Luis de MiguelHOST
He didn't change the budget.
Luis de MiguelHOST
He just made the house real small.
13 MINS LATER
Luis de MiguelHOST
There's a huge developer, one of the biggest, one of the biggest developers in America.
Luis de MiguelHOST
And, and this guy, put out, I don't know, 100,000, a million houses.
Luis de MiguelHOST
He provided housing for people, affordable housing.
Luis de MiguelHOST
And they took the costs down and people could afford them, people coming back from the war and so on.
PeterHOST
And what are some of the assistance they can get from Selangor government? What are some of the things that you are doing in your capacity to try to help them go up that income level?
Ng Sze HanGUEST
So beside the affordable housing, and we are working hard on, uh, providing a better connectivity, there are also some others, uh, welfare programs that Selangor government is offering to help families.
Ng Sze HanGUEST
For example, we have the, uh, regular cheap sales, uh, for the households' items.
Ng Sze HanGUEST
Uh, those, I think it helps, uh, for the lower group, uh, lower income group of the families in Selangor.
23 MINS LATER
Ng Sze HanGUEST
I think the property prices we cannot control fully because it is an open market.
Ng Sze HanGUEST
Developers and buyers will have their choice.
Ng Sze HanGUEST
But as a government, we also have the duty or responsibility to provide an affordable housing scheme to the people.
Ng Sze HanGUEST
For example, in Selangor, we have the, uh, affordable housing which are priced at, uh, l- less than 300,000.
Zach FoustHOST
no
Sean WrightHOST
it's it's affordable housing it's affordable housing There's nothing out there for first-time homebuyers to get.
Sean WrightHOST
And then as far as having a job, I feel like there's not many jobs either.
Sean WrightHOST
So it's like a mix of that.
Zach FoustHOST
And where I would agree with you on that sentiment of it being affordable housing is because that is the gateway to everything else.
Sean WrightHOST
Yeah, like the new affordable housing starts at like, I don't know, like $360,000.
Sean WrightHOST
Yeah, $350,000, $360,000.
Sean WrightHOST
Like around there.
Katrina E. RobinsonGUEST
Mm-hmm.
Katrina E. RobinsonGUEST
The biggest benefit is helping people with the affordable housing crisis.
Katrina E. RobinsonGUEST
That's the biggest benefit, really.
Katrina E. RobinsonGUEST
It's not the cash flow.
Katrina E. RobinsonGUEST
And so shared housing is the only way that they're able to live in a nice, safe, clean neighborhood.
Katrina E. RobinsonGUEST
Yes, they're sharing the common areas with other people, but they become like a family unit.
Katrina E. RobinsonGUEST
And you're really just helping people with affordable housing.
Dave DuPontHOST
Yeah, that makes a lot of sense.
Mark LarsonHOST
And I think this new polling on Prop 40, the so-called billionaire's tax, ties into what we're talking about here, the expectations and the lack of, oh, what's the word, knowledge? Coming up next, NewsRadio 600 COGO live on the iHeartRadio app.
speaker_11UNKNOWN
This affordable housing thing is such a sham.
speaker_11UNKNOWN
They should just call it subsidized because that's what it is.

A year or so ago, the mayor was at some place.

Mark LarsonHOST
A certain number of people in America now want to have free cheeseburgers because it's up to us.
Mark LarsonHOST
They want barely any hours of work in the week, and they want everything free.
Mark LarsonHOST
Free health care, free affordable housing.
Mark LarsonHOST
I mean, affordable, it's like, give me housing.
Ubong MatthewHOST
Uh, as you've heard, um, our guest has actually been anticipating this, um, conversation today.
Ubong MatthewHOST
So, um, this brings us quickly to the theme of today, saying unlocking real estate, um, enabling business sustainable growth, right? So we'll be talking about affordable housing innovations.
Ubong MatthewHOST
Um, uh, we'll be framing Africa's housing deficits as a product and technology challenge, right? So it's both a product and technology challenge.
Ubong MatthewHOST
So it's not maybe only on the technology part of it or maybe on the, um, or what do you call it, the product itself that's a property.
7 MINS LATER
Ubong MatthewHOST
Okay.
Ubong MatthewHOST

Tobi YetundeGUEST
Mm-hmm
Damien WilleyHOST
But then there's the O2 Centre development on Finchley Road.
Damien WilleyHOST
As originally approved, the developer promised 570 affordable homes.
Damien WilleyHOST
As you can gather by this point, these are sorely needed.
Damien WilleyHOST
The revised scheme, however, then removed 240 affordable homes from that promise, though.
Damien WilleyHOST
Gone, just like a council pledge the morning after election day.
Damien WilleyHOST
Not to be seen anywhere again.
Damien WilleyHOST
That's 240 affordable homes now out of the question.
Damien WilleyHOST
Now, Abdiwali didn't sit down with a rubber stamp and banish them.
Sean SullivanHOST
And I see this story, I was reading through Kyle Hamrick's story over at Lanyard.
Sean SullivanHOST
It says close to $2 million will go towards a new affordable housing development on Baltimore Street to cover what the city has described as a financial gap caused by Mobile Housing Authority.
Ben ReynoldsGUEST
Yeah, that's a big one, and it's not just $2 million.
Ben ReynoldsGUEST
That's $2 million extra that we're having to put into the deal.
Isabel BrownHOST
But if you could dream up a perfect scenario tomorrow, let's say you get elected and you have the chance to change the machine and drive towards a great answer for our generation, what would you do to fix that problem in particular?
Michael AlfonsoGUEST
Yeah, so one of the big things I was running on in the district is that affordable housing, but not the Section 8 stuff that nobody wants to live in.
Michael AlfonsoGUEST
It's a two-pronged approach.
Michael AlfonsoGUEST
Number one, you need to make it easier to build in the United States.
