Housing

Should every town have 25% social housing?

The test question and the possible answers

Every town should have at least 25% social housing.

What's at stake: The debate is about how social housing is spread: a quota so every town does its share, or incentives adapted to local conditions.

The left's argument

A quota forces every town, even the richest, to take its fair share.

The centre's argument

A minimum target for each town, with deadlines and support to reach it.

The right's argument

A uniform quota ignores local realities: incentives for towns would work better.
