  • The rule requiring 30% of new developments to be reserved for social housing has generated only 31 new apartments in seven years.
  • The same rule is seen as counterproductive and its modification is proposed.
  • The construction of housing suffered a significant paralysis due to the rule.
  • Measures to favor access to housing can have negative effects on the construction sector and the availability of housing.
  • The issue of low housing accessibility is one of the main issues affecting Spanish society.
  • The repeal of the 30% rule would be feasible with an agreement between the PSC and Junts.

Conclusion: A balanced approach that favors the creation of housing while allowing the healthy operation of the construction sector is needed. A pact between all actors, public and private, appears to be the most promising solution.
