The average housing of Chinese exceeds 41 square meters, why does the happiness not meet expectations?
In the era of the boom in the real estate market, many families did not hesitate to spend a lot of money to buy a house in pursuit of a better life, and some even took long-term loans for twenty or thirty years because of buying a house. But I don't know if you have thought carefully about such a question - the bigger the house, the stronger the sense of happiness?
According to the latest data released by the National Bureau of Statistics in the China Census Yearbook-2020, the per capita living area of Chinese households reached 4176 square meters, with an average of 111 per household18 sqm.
From the perspective of this per capita housing area, China has reached the level of developed countries, but then a question arises, why is China's per capita housing area so high, but the people's happiness has not achieved the expected effect?
In this regard, we have summarized the following four reasons, let's see if this is the case.
In fact, the average number is only statistically significant, but not very significant in reality. Although, on average, the large number of existing housing in our country is indeed enough for all inhabitants to live"Comfortable"life, but the reality is very different from what is imagined.
This is because, in real life, there are many rich people who have more than one house in their hands, and even buy houses in many cities, and will take turns living in different cities throughout the year; Poor families who are not wealthy have no money to buy a house, so they can only rent a house, let alone live in a house.
For a more vivid understanding, let's take another typical example: an ordinary person only has 100,000 assets, and Ma Yun's wealth, on average, has reached 100 billion, so can you say that ordinary people are also rich? The real situation is that there are 600 million people in China with an average monthly income of less than 1,000 yuan, and there is a huge gap between the average level and reality.
In the past 20 years, it is true that many families have bought homes and settled down on their own, but the vast majority of families are burdened with a heavy burden of housing supply. In fact, look at the young people around us, in addition to the basic expenses of the money they earn every month, the rest is taken out to pay off the mortgage, and they panic when they have no income for a day, which is a true portrayal of many people's lives.
Under the strong pressure of mortgages, the happiness of ordinary people is not because"There is a room"And the increase, on the contrary, is greatly reduced because of the purchase of a house.
Over the years, China's cities have indeed become more and more prosperous, with all kinds of amenities readily available, thus attracting a large number of rural residents. However, in stark contrast to the development of cities, the countryside is gradually becoming more and more gradual as the permanent population continues to decline"Fall"。
Today, in many rural areas, only the widowed and lonely elderly and some abandoned children are left, who have been separated from their children for a long time, and young people who have left their homes to work and live in noisy urban villages without any happiness.
Behind the huge disparity in housing area per capita is actually speculation. Many post-70s and post-80s people buy houses and invest on the eve of rapid housing prices, thus reaping the rewards of life. But for young people born in the 90s and 00s, if their parents do not prepare a house for them, high housing prices are indeed unaffordable.
In developed countries, their real estate industry can continue to develop for nearly a hundred years, while China has caught up with the speed of other countries in only 20 years.
In short, although China's per capita housing area has been in the forefront of the world, factors such as excessive mortgage pressure and unbalanced urban and rural development have affected the improvement of people's happiness. Do you want to know what people think about this?
