进入新世纪以来,城市房价出现加速上涨的态势。现在的问题是,买不起房或为高房价所累不仅仅是低收入群体的最大困难,也是相当比例中等收入者或中间收入层面临的突出问题。没有政府的必要与适当干预,以当下的情形,不少中等收入者主要依靠自身的努力也是难以解决住房问题的。扩大城市住房保障的覆盖面,使住房保障惠及部分中等收入层,是值得政府认真考虑的政策选项之一。 Since entering the new century, urban housing prices have accelerated upward trend. The problem now is that the biggest difficulty that can not afford to buy a house or that is not only for the low-income groups, but also for a considerable proportion of the middle-income or middle-income groups. Without the government’s necessary and appropriate intervention, in the present situation, many middle-income earners rely mainly on their own efforts to solve the housing problem. Expanding the coverage of urban housing security so that housing security benefits some of the middle-income groups is one of the policy options that the government should seriously consider.
