These subsidies are financial aids from the government to help individuals purchase their first home, making homeownership more accessible. Proponents argue that it helps people afford their first home and promotes homeownership. Opponents argue that it distorts the housing market and could lead to higher prices.

No, they should be working on making house prices cheaper so subsidies are not required as subsidies just drive the price of housing up
@9N8NN8810mos10MO
No- we should be in a situation where they don't need to. Building needs to be faster, and more to drive down demand, and prices.
@9NPYCYC10mos10MO
Yes, but measures need to be in place to prevent these subsidies from simply being absorbed by property developers - through increased prices
@B3WXTWY2wks2W
I think all buyers should be treated equally. in the property bubble in Ireland. People were stuck living in appartments and didnt get any subsidies because they were 2nd time buyers
@9ZW3T2V4mos4MO
Yes, and more so decrease the prices of rental property so the working class can actually afford a home they can call their own
@9ZW2QGV4mos4MO
The current schemes are driving up the price of houses, making deposits more and virtually impossible to buy. These schemes also only apply to new builds not all first time buyers which penalises those who are not able to buy a new build.
@9ZV5N3M4mos4MO
Yes but depending on the housing market - if the price of a home drops below a certain threshold then the subsidy be removed
@9ZV359K4mos4MO
If there's a way of making it so that the housing prices don't increase, making the subsidy pointless, then yes
