Housing problems in Hungary

First of all, let me mention some facts which should be considered about housing problems in a town. Towns are characterised by several-hundred-year-old houses in the centre built by the government. The other part of a city is the suburb where mainly detached houses can be found. While in the centre pre-fabricated buildings are dominated. Dwellers have two aims: on one hand, they want to inhabit near the centre to reach their workplace easier. On the other hand, they prefer living in detached houses, in a noisiless place.

Such natives also exist, who rather escape from noises of the town, and move in surraunding settlements, villages. Those particularly dwell in family houses with garden in order that they can provide suitable dwellings for children or grandparents. Those people drive to the city to work and entertain. Pre-fabricated houses very rarely can be found in villages.

Population of settlements depends on possibilities of work. Hungarians usually intend to live near their workplace in their own hause of course, who can afford it. Therefore the move difficulty from a place to another place just due to a new job. That is the reason why after the European Union joint, fears of Western European coutries did not come true, that cheap and skilled labour cover foreign countries.

Numerous city residents in concrete block of houses which more and more technical problem belong to. In spite of the fact that outnumbering dwellings built near each other, and many people live in a humble area, there are not social relationships. Not only do they live so that they do not know their neighbours, but they also quarrel about who deal with the garden, who sweep the snow and so on. On average a lift can be found in such hause, and those lifts are often out of order and inhabitants do not have money to have it repaired. So the more times it goes wrong, the larger problem to walk up the 10th storey for elders.

In the last 5 years, the prices of houses  became pretty high  in Hungary. The price of one square meter is three times more than an average payment in a month, which is impayable for great number of people. It is a giant problem for the eastern and western part of Hungary, where numerable unemployed can be found. However, the building material costs the same all over the country; houses are more expensive in towns than in villages. For instance, if a building costs 7 million Forints in a ville and owners could not sell it, the same house coul be sold in a city for 25-30 million Forints.

As far as I am concerned, I will live in a family hause with a garden. To my mind, living in a city is better than in a village, because I am not diturbed by the noises of the town..…
