În România, mentalitatea e că trebuie să fii sărac ca să beneficiezi de locuință socială. În Viena, se califică toți cu cei cu sub 5.000 de euro pe lună. Pentru că nu sunt „pomană”, ci investiție strategică

In Romania, social housing is often viewed as a benefit for the very poor, while in Vienna, it is accessible to those earning under 5,000 euros monthly. The perception in Romania is shaped by a belief that individuals should independently secure housing. Currently, over 5,700 people are on the waiting list for social housing in Bucharest, with some waiting for more than 20 years. The city has only a limited number of social housing units, and the administration has struggled to provide adequate solutions. The lack of social housing is attributed to both financial constraints and a prevailing mindset that emphasizes individual responsibility for housing. Irina Zamfirescu highlights the need for a shift in perspective to ensure future generations have access to decent living conditions.
