Málaga Mayor's Bold Plan to Tackle Housing Crisis

Málaga Mayor De la Torre Tackles Housing Crisis with 'Minipisos' Initiative Málaga, Spain – Málaga's Mayor Francisco de la Torre, in his sixth term at 82 years old, recently addressed the city's housing crisis in an exclusive interview with 101TV Málaga. The interview, conducted in the City Hall's Hall of Mirrors, highlighted De la Torre's 25-year tenure and his focus on innovative solutions. De la Torre emphasized the importance of the 'minipisos' project, stating, "I believe that the formula of 'minipisos' will help young people to prosper with a first decent and cheap home." He views this initiative as a significant achievement, outmaneuvering the opposition. The interview also touched on the broader challenges of affordability, with De la Torre noting the need for rental costs to not exceed 30% of a person's income. The 'minipisos' initiative is not merely a short-term solution, but a stepping stone. "It's temporary," De la Torre clarified, "because the family will later have the opportunity to expand their housing and family." This long-term vision offers a hopeful outlook for the city's housing future. The full interview is available on 101tv.es.
