Housing Policy Goal

The plan establishes that everyone living in Sweden should have a good home, that the market cannot manage this and that housing construction and living environments should counteract segregation and promote equality. The counter-proposal's new goal of good homes at reasonable costs, equal conditions and sustainability is exactly the plan's housing policy commitments formulated as goals.

• housing for alldecisive»Att se till att alla som bor i Sverige har en bra bostad är ett sådant exempel.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Ensuring that everyone living in Sweden has a good home is one such example.”
• the market does not solve the housing shortage»efter att också bostäderna lämnats åt marknaden ökar bostadsbristen, boendekostnader och segregation« (2022 manifesto ↗)“after housing has also been left to the market, housing shortages, housing costs and segregation increase”
• massive housing construction and reduced rents»Vänsterpartiets nästa steg handlar om en politik för massivt bostadsbyggande, klimatsmarta renoveringar och sänkta hyror som går hand i hand med den gröna omställningen.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“The Left Party's next step is a policy for massive housing construction, climate-smart renovations and reduced rents that go hand in hand with the green transition.”
• residential environments against segregation»jämställdhet och gemenskap och motverka segregation« (party programme ↗)“equality and community and counteract segregation”

The plan views housing as a social right and housing policy as part of welfare policy, with societal responsibility for housing supply. The counter-proposal's goal of good housing at reasonable costs, equitable conditions and sustainability expresses the same commitments as the plan's requirement for affordable rental housing, mixed forms of tenure and fighting overcrowding. Therefore a new housing policy goal is supported in principle.

• housing as a social rightdecisive»Vi socialdemokrater ser bostaden som en social rättighet och bostadspolitiken som en del av välfärdspolitiken.« (party programme ↗)“We social democrats view housing as a social right and housing policy as part of welfare policy.”
• reasonable housing costs»Vi ska fortsätta att bygga hyresrätter som vanligt folk har råd att bo i.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“We shall continue to build rental apartments that ordinary people can afford to live in.”
• mixed housing against segregation»Boende- och upplåtelseformer ska vara blandade. Trångboddheten ska bekämpas.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Housing and tenure forms shall be mixed. Overcrowding shall be combated.”
• sustainable urban development»En socialt, ekonomiskt och ekologiskt hållbar samhällsutveckling förutsätter ett framtidsinriktat stadsbyggande som skapar integrerade, variationsrika och transportsnåla livsmiljöer i våra städer och tätorter.« (party programme ↗)“Socially, economically and ecologically sustainable societal development requires future-oriented urban planning that creates integrated, diverse and transit-friendly living environments in our cities and towns.”

The plan takes no explicit position on what the committee actually decided — often because the committee's reason was procedural. The stance is derived and fully cited, but it does not show the party broke a commitment.

The election manifesto wants to build climate-smart rental apartments with reasonable rents in pleasant and safe environments, and the party programme establishes that everyone has the right to a home and that housing policy shall prevent segregation and promote equal rights. The counter-proposal's new objective of good homes at reasonable costs, equitable conditions and sustainable development express precisely these commitments. The plan therefore supports the counter-proposal.

• housing policy against segregationdecisive»Miljöpartiets bostadspolitik ska motverka segregation och främja lika rättigheter.« (party programme ↗)“The Greens' housing policy shall prevent segregation and promote equal rights.”
• homes at reasonable costs»bygga fler klimatsmarta hyresrätter med rimliga hyror, utveckla och utöka investeringsstödet som gjorde det billigare att bygga och se till att fler kan äga sin bostad.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“build more climate-smart rental apartments with reasonable rents, develop and expand the investment support that made it cheaper to build and ensure that more people can own their home.”
• the right to a home»Alla har rätt till en bostad.« (party programme ↗)“Everyone has the right to a home.”
• sustainable construction»yteffektivt, resurseffektivt och klimatsmart sätt.« (party programme ↗)“space-efficient, resource-efficient and climate-smart way.”

The plan does not take a position on the formulation of the housing policy goal, but states that there must be sufficient housing throughout the country, that the housing market must become more open so that no one is forced to live segregated, and that reforms should be long-term sustainable. The counter-proposal's goal of good housing at reasonable costs, equal conditions and a good upbringing for children is in line with these principles.

• housing throughout the countrydecisive»En förutsättning för utveckling är att det finns tillräckligt med bostäder i hela landet.« (party programme ↗)“A prerequisite for development is that there is sufficient housing throughout the country.”
• more open housing market»Även bostadsmarknaden måste bli öppnare.« (party programme ↗)“The housing market too must become more open.”
• children's upbringing conditions»Särskilt viktigt är att värna varje barns rätt att bli respekterad och att bli sedd för den man är.« (party programme ↗)“Particularly important is to protect every child's right to be respected and to be seen for who they are.”
• long-term sustainability»Vår politik bygger på reformer som är långsiktigt hållbara« (party programme ↗)“Our policy is based on reforms that are long-term sustainable”

The plan formulates its own housing policy goal: everyone shall be able to have housing with a tenure form that agrees with one's own wishes, and power over one's own housing is a freedom issue. It also demands sustainable building, increased safety in vulnerable housing areas and strengthened work against eviction of families with children. A modernized goal with good housing at reasonable cost, safe environment and sustainable framework lies in line with this, even though the plan puts greater weight on market and freedom of choice.

• power over own housingdecisive»Att ha makt över det egna boendet är viktigt för den enskildes frihetskänsla.« (party programme ↗)“To have power over one's own housing is important for the individual's sense of freedom.”
• sustainable building»Framtidens samhällen måste byggas på ett miljömässigt hållbart sätt.« (party programme ↗)“Future societies must be built in an environmentally sustainable way.”
• safety in vulnerable areas»Ökad trygghet är en central fråga för att lyfta utsatta bostadsområden.« (party programme ↗)“Increased safety is a central issue to lift vulnerable housing areas.”
• protect families with children»Det förebyggande arbetet mot vräkning, särskilt av barnfamiljer, behöver stärkas.« (party programme ↗)“The preventive work against eviction, especially of families with children, needs to be strengthened.”

The counter-proposal's new housing policy goal concerns good housing at reasonable costs, safe environment, child development and sustainability, with housing shortage and segregation as reasons. The party programme establishes that state and municipality shall secure housing provision for all regardless of social and economic conditions, that segregation shall be countered through mixed tenure forms and that sustainability's three dimensions shall be met simultaneously. The goal's content thereby corresponds to the plan's commitments.

• housing for alldecisive»bostadsförsörjningen åt alla, i olika åldrar och med olika sociala och ekonomiska förutsättningar.« (party programme ↗)“housing provision for all, at different ages and with different social and economic conditions.”
• counter segregation»Därigenom motverkas etnisk, social och ekonomisk segregation.« (party programme ↗)“Thereby ethnic, social and economic segregation is countered.”
• three sustainability dimensions»Utmaningen är att klara hållbarhetsbegreppets tre dimensioner samtidigt; social, ekologisk och ekonomisk hållbarhet.« (party programme ↗)“The challenge is to meet sustainability's three dimensions simultaneously; social, ecological and economic sustainability.”
• good growth environment in housing»En god fysisk uppväxtmiljö bör betonas som viktig« (party programme ↗)“A good physical growth environment should be emphasized as important”

The plan's housing policy is about more housing through deregulation and ownership: coastal protection shall be abolished, master plans replaced by simpler building plans and reforms increase the building of both rental and condominiums. A new housing policy goal focused on equal conditions and socially sustainable development directs towards broader political ambitions than building and ownership. The demand is therefore rejected.

• increased housing constructiondecisive»Vi vill genomföra reformer som ökar byggandet av såväl hyressom bostadsrätter.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“We want to carry through reforms that increase building of both rental flats and condominiums.”
• deregulated building»Avskaffa dagens strandskydd för att möjliggöra ökat byggande« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Abolish today's coastal protection to enable increased building”
• owner-occupied housing»I Moderaternas Sverige ska alla våga drömma om att äga sin egen bostad.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“In the Moderate Party's Sweden, everyone shall dare to dream of owning their own home.”
• simpler planning process»Ersätta avancerade detaljplaner med enklare byggplaner« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Replace complex master plans with simpler building plans”

The counter-proposal wants a new housing policy target of good housing at reasonable costs in a safe environment, with a focus on children's upbringing. The plan's own housing section formulates the same thing: everyone should have access to housing of good standard in a safe and pleasant environment and housing costs must be curbed. The plan's response to segregation is however return migration rather than a new target, which makes the support weak.

• housing of good standarddecisive»Alla ska ha tillgång till en bostad med god standard och kunna leva i en säker, trygg och trivsam miljö.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Everyone should have access to housing of good standard and be able to live in a safe, secure and pleasant environment.”
• reasonable housing costs»Åtgärder behöver också vidtas för att bromsa de skenande boendekostnaderna så att fler har råd till ett hem.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Measures also need to be taken to curb soaring housing costs so that more people can afford a home.”
• increased housing construction»Öka bostadsbyggandet« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Increase housing construction”
• return migration against housing shortage»Minska migrationens påfrestning på bostadsmarknaden genom återvandring« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Reduce the strain of migration on the housing market through return migration”
