TODAY’S EDITORIAL: Govt tries anew to erase housing backlog

THE Marcos administration will launch a six-year plan to build six million housing units to finally wipe out the country's housing backlog.The Department of Human Settlements and Urban Development has said the objective is to create a million housing units every year until the end of President Ferdinand Marcos Jr.'s term in 2028.

Some housing experts point to government bureaucracy and rural-to-urban migration as among the factors that have allowed the housing problem to fester.They say difficulties and delays in getting permits prevent housing projects from finishing on schedule. Land developers believe that if the process can be shortened by cutting red tape, development costs can be minimized and projects completed faster.
