I grew up in an area just outside Cape Town City Centre. They find buildings, like closed factories, warehouses that they sell to European developers. Hotels, expensive flats are being built in my area. DA is making the area European.
I'm in high-school, matric so i don't know much about this topic but while they raise great points in terms of funding development and efficient use of infrastructure its seemingly a bigger issue. already in SA, we see influx in crime, so with bank funding and municipality its a credibility issue. such that small scale or starter up developers may not have the "most valid" credentials and reputation. if it comes down to poor infrastructure and development that ends with people being injured, who is going to be more at fault. development scams are a thing, where once everything goes wrong, the developer has disappeared. secondly, with the use of infrastructure efficiently and the availability of land, that is an issue with the mass. people in society have it ingrained into their heads that "owning a house, or owning property on a horizontal level" is more stable than "owning an apartment or owning property on a vertical level". so to combat that, more young people should be convinced to live in this vertical manner, with the elderly living more horizontally for accessibility and health. honestly i dont know if this makes any sense, but it was a really cool discussion.
Consider where those houses under one million are. Safety is a main concern. As much as we need housing we also cannot move into a community that is rife with crime. Yes there are houses in delft at R120 000 R200 000 but the safety issue is something that needs to be addressed fundamentally. Resolve educational inequality Lets breed a nation of strong independent people that makes it unattractive to youngster to lay their lives down for gangsters. This goes for all of South Africa but especially Western Cape.
Until the government puts Remote Working as a protected Worker Right for jobs that can allow for it, this won’t be solved. Where remote working allowed for many people to decentralise concentrations of where wealthy and upper middle class people grab up land. The RTO movement by ill considered management is having devastating far reaching negative consequences for little to negative gain in productivity and profit.
Build all you want, but without rapid public transport that cuts across the spokes emanating from the Civic Centre, there will be no economic opportunities. The City is already gridlocked and congested.
Deon explained things so well 🤯
Well said Deon-we have very poor transport infrastructure in Cape Town.
we need to double or triple our railways.
