A public Education and Health system are indisputable rights in a modern society as ours pretend to be. However, I will add the right to gain the access to housing, taking into consideration all ways to live and to be related to other people nowadays, which sometimes are rather different than the typical family cliché.

Everybody has right to a place to live; a place according to his circumstances and needs, but above all economically sustainable. It is not fair that anybody must do the effort to defray his housing with a huge part of his salary, during years and years. In case of low salaries that will limit personal developing and in the long run economical problems hard to be solved.

Market, according to the experts, is saturated of constructions built during times of plenty, but actually they have serious problems to find a buyer. Therefore, let me suggest two questions:

1.- Most of these accommodations are not able to satisfy the needs of people with limited economical possibilities that want a minimal place to live, due to that possibly they were not built in this sense. But if buyer has short solvency, buy this kind of housing, will required a high mortgage supported by family guarantees.

2.- In case that distribution corresponds to the typical familiar accommodation, in other words, one or more bedrooms, a rather big kitchen, dining room, bathroom, terraces, and so on, that could be excessive to all people not identified with the typical family cliché. For all these people, it is possible that functionality goes through having smaller and polyvalent areas.

During last years, public Administration has improved construction quality of buildings in several ways: thermic, acoustic and energetic insulators... However, it has not done the effort to understand that needs of a noteworthy population have changed and therefore their accommodations should be in a way different than the ones for a traditional family. “State subsidized apartments” try to be affordable, but their constructions are insufficient and its functionality questionable.

It is necessary to look for and to promote new ideas as design, functionality, raw materials, integrated services, saving, etc with the aim to build “housing” able to satisfy the real needs of a wide range of social trends. Lack of implication of public Administration and frivolity of the financial institutions during last years, has generated a widespread increase of prices and the indebtedness of a lot of people beyond the limits of a bearable effort.

To have at our disposal a decent place to live, under economic and sustainable conditions is a right of our society. Public Administration and all involved agents must wise up to do this happen.
