While the government insists on building millions of new state-owned homes as a solution, the <a href=\"https:\/\/donya-e-eqtesad.com\/%D8%A8%D8%AE%D8%B4-%D9%85%D8%B3%DA%A9%D9%86-%D8%B4%D9%87%D8%B1%DB%8C-18\/4153140-%D8%AE%D8%B7%D8%A7%DB%8C-%D8%AF%DB%8C%D8%AF-%D8%AF%D8%B1-%D9%86%D8%A7%D8%AA%D8%B1%D8%A7%D8%B2%DB%8C-%D9%85%D8%B3%DA%A9%D9%86\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">February 11 report in <em data-start=\"450\" data-end=\"468\">Donyaye Eghtesad<\/em><\/a> highlights that the real crisis is not a shortage of homes but a crippling economic imbalance fueled by inflation, corruption, and failed policies.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\" data-start=\"628\" data-end=\"1144\">The article exposes that 1.5 million renters now live in absolute poverty, a number that has increased by 50% since 2011, while over half of Iranian families officially suffer from &#8220;housing poverty.&#8221; Despite 5.5 million new housing units being constructed over the past decade, the number of renters has continued to grow, proving that the housing crisis is not due to lack of construction but rather the regime\u2019s economic policies that enrich speculators and push millions deeper into poverty.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\" data-start=\"1146\" data-end=\"1690\">For years, the regime has pushed state-controlled housing projects like <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ijcua.com\/index.php\/ijcua\/article\/download\/116\/244\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><em data-start=\"1222\" data-end=\"1237\">Maskan-e Mehr<\/em><\/a>, yet the new revelations confirm that these efforts have failed to address affordability, access, or fairness. Instead, the housing market has been manipulated by well-connected insiders who hoard properties, keeping them off the market to inflate prices and exploit desperate buyers and renters. The report bluntly states that &#8220;real estate speculation has made some owners even wealthier while millions are forced into worse conditions.&#8221;<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\"><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/Iran?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#Iran<\/a> News in Brief<br \/>While skyrocketing housing prices have forced millions of people to live on the capital&#39;s outskirts, state-affiliated <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/housing?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#housing<\/a> expert Hamid Najaf revealed that a significant number of homes in both central and northern <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/Tehran?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#Tehran<\/a> remain unoccupied, with estimates\u2026 <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/WzXyrY3WuD\">pic.twitter.com\/WzXyrY3WuD<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; NCRI-FAC (@iran_policy) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/iran_policy\/status\/1721258260420784329?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">November 5, 2023<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\" data-start=\"1692\" data-end=\"2223\">One of the most damning admissions in the report is that 80% of those eligible for state-funded <a href=\"https:\/\/iranfocus.com\/economy\/52144-177-year-wait-for-tehran-residents-to-buy-a-home-if-prices-stay-stable-for-200-years\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">housing cannot even afford<\/a> the initial down payment, exposing the absurdity of the regime\u2019s so-called housing policies. In the past three years, over 5 million families applied for government-backed housing, but only 1 million were able to afford the required upfront payment. This means that 4 out of 5 applicants are left without any path to homeownership, highlighting the scale of exclusion built into the system.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\" data-start=\"2225\" data-end=\"2736\">Despite the government\u2019s claims that building more houses will fix the crisis, the report reveals that the primary factor driving this catastrophe is the regime\u2019s own economic mismanagement. Inflation in the housing sector has skyrocketed, with real estate prices in major cities increasing by 650% in the past decade. Meanwhile, wages have failed to keep pace, and today, an average Iranian family needs 65 years of savings to buy a home in Tehran\u2014a figure that was just 12 years in 2011.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\"><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/Iran?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#Iran<\/a>: No Supervision Over Shabby Housing Project Which Caused Most Deaths in the Recent Quake <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/386A3HTt77\">https:\/\/t.co\/386A3HTt77<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/HHMsWS5RIX\">pic.twitter.com\/HHMsWS5RIX<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; NCRI-FAC (@iran_policy) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/iran_policy\/status\/931126597658267649?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">November 16, 2017<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\" data-start=\"2738\" data-end=\"3193\">The situation is further exacerbated by <a href=\"https:\/\/irannewsupdate.com\/news\/economy\/irans-inflation-rate-soars-to-highest-level-in-80-years\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">high inflation<\/a>, declining incomes, and a financial system rigged to benefit regime insiders. Even Iranian developers, once eager to build, now refuse to sell completed units, opting to hoard an estimated 2.6 million empty properties as a hedge against currency devaluation and market instability.
