城市建設之住房問題

  大作文題目  

The shortage of housing in big cities can cause severe consequences, and only government action can solve the problem. To what extent do you agree or disagree?

  寫(xie) 作思路  

本題是道經典的討論如何解決(jue) 城市住房危機的議論文。盡管有限定詞only，文章肯定了政府的作用，並從(cong) 不同方麵給出了具體(ti) 的解決(jue) 方案。解決(jue) 方案一是針對低到中等收入租房者政府應該資助保障性住房；解決(jue) 方案二是為(wei) 了讓大多數家庭有能力購房，政府應限製土地投機，以及對房地產(chan) 投資收益征稅。本題的寫(xie) 作關(guan) 鍵是切忌僅(jin) 僅(jin) 表麵談論政府的職責，缺少具體(ti) 的解決(jue) 方案文章則會(hui) 假大空。

此外，讓步段我們(men) 抓住了城市住房問題另一重要的討論角度，提出了人們(men) 可以選擇居住在rural areas從(cong) 而應對住房短缺，但最終仍明確論證出這依然取決(jue) 於(yu) 政府的努力。可能有的同學會(hui) 從(cong) 其他角度來討論問題的解決(jue) ，大家可以嚐試寫(xie) 不同的思路，文章之所以會(hui) 肯定政府的角色是因為(wei) 其作用是最根本的。

  參考範文  
The unavailability of living space in congested metropolises has led to unprecedented repercussions in many countries. While the issue is under ongoing discussion for decades, I do believe that radical solutions to the housing crisis mainly hinge on government policy. The dialogue relating to the lack of housing often centers, as it should, around supply. Although housing is a basic human need, affordable housing is increasingly difficult to attain in big cities, especially for low-to-medium income renters. Therefore, the key solution, I think, should be to depend on the government to subsidize more public housing. By introducing and expanding public housing construction projects, more people who currently struggle to pay their rent would become eligible for affordable accommodation. In addition to focusing on the problem of supply, the housing crisis will not be properly addressed without attention to demand. The primary reason why so many families cannot afford market-rate housing is that a greater share of the nation’s aggregate income goes to upper-income households, who can afford to own a larger share of real estate. Thus, there should be regulations in place that aim to limit land speculation, and higher taxes should be imposed on returns from real estate investments. Nevertheless, there are voices that claim people suffering from housing problems can move to rural areas to lead a less stressful life. Indeed, less populated places tend to provide more options for residence. However, it relies on the government action to make rural areas attractive alternatives. It is conceivable that if more people were willing to live in rural areas, the demand for urban housing would decrease and rents and property prices would become more affordable. In conclusion, to settle the problem of housing scarcity counts on government efforts to strive for long-term results.
