Housing construction in Germany again failed to gain momentum last year despite high demand, particularly in urban centres, according to the official figures released on Thursday. The number of flats that been completed fell by 0.3% compared to the previous year, the Federal Statistical Office reported, representing a total of 294,400 homes built. This was a smaller drop than feared, but was still a long way off the centre-left government's target of building 400,000 new homes per year. The number of houses completed per year has hardly changed since 2021. Housing Minister Klara Geywitz descri...

The net area of subdivided flats should be no smaller than 100 square feet including the kitchen and bathroom, the group said. Around 20,000 to 30,000 currently live in subdivided dwelling...

Phoenix (AFP) - Wearing a bulletproof vest and with a gun strapped to his waist, Constable Lennie McCloskey opens his folder and looks through the court orders: eleven evictions to be carried out today. "It's a slow day" in Maricopa County, Arizona, he says. Maricopa is home to Phoenix, one of the fastest growing cities in the United States, a place where rents have skyrocketed since the start of the Covid-19 pandemic, leaving an ever-increasing number of people in trouble. "I typically do between 19 and 25 (evictions) a day," said McCloskey, one of 26 such officers in Maricopa. Much of the Un...

Alongside eight residents, the Society for Community Organisation (SoCO) went to the Legislative Council (LegCO) on Tuesday to lodge a complaint and spoke of residents’ concerns about the upcoming waste charging sc...

An increasing number of low-income Europeans are expecting to be late paying key bills over the coming months because of a rise in interest rates, rents and utilities costs, according to research by the European Central Bank (ECB). "The ability of households to meet their housing-related costs and mortgage payments is a source of concern, especially for lower-income households," the researchers wrote in an ECB economic bulletin article providing a snapshot of the "household housing burden" in the largest 11 eurozone economies. Since the ECB started to raise interest rate in July 2022, overall ...
