I hope so, I have a
pending talk with him and

1
00:00:04.560 --> 00:00:09.817
I think this week we will
do it but in the end what

2
00:00:09.817 --> 00:00:14.669
I have on my mind and
what my team has to do is

3
00:00:14.669 --> 00:00:16.417
building houses.


4
00:00:16.662 --> 00:00:19.743
And to address the
problem that housing

5
00:00:19.743 --> 00:00:21.170
represents today.


6
00:00:21.258 --> 00:00:24.734
I said to the President
of Partido Zorrilla in

7
00:00:24.734 --> 00:00:28.361
our meeting today that we
did not need any more

8
00:00:28.361 --> 00:00:29.146
pressure.


9
00:00:29.234 --> 00:00:32.012
That we do not need that
pressure any longer

10
00:00:32.012 --> 00:00:34.663
because now the issues
are close to being

11
00:00:34.663 --> 00:00:37.505
resolved and we are
talking about them among

12
00:00:37.505 --> 00:00:39.302
ourselves and it's no
good.

13
00:00:39.390 --> 00:00:42.162
I am not going to be
even-handed because I

14
00:00:42.162 --> 00:00:45.330
know whose responsibility
it is and I certainly

15
00:00:45.330 --> 00:00:48.102
would not draw any
comparison between the

16
00:00:48.102 --> 00:00:48.966
two of them.


17
00:00:49.882 --> 00:00:53.879
But I will not get bogged
down in that either. In

18
00:00:53.879 --> 00:00:57.797
the past 15 years the
Council has neither built

19
00:00:57.797 --> 00:01:01.965
any officially subsidised
housing nor allowed land

20
00:01:01.965 --> 00:01:05.885
to be transferred from
government to allow them

21
00:01:05.885 --> 00:01:10.045
to build it. Last year we
were handed some land at

22
00:01:10.045 --> 00:01:13.883
Ciudad Jardín for about
100 social houses, and

23
00:01:13.883 --> 00:01:16.598
those are the first ones
to go.

24
00:01:17.022 --> 00:01:19.572
This year we will receive
another two and that is

25
00:01:19.572 --> 00:01:22.071
why we are starting to
build protected housing,

26
00:01:22.071 --> 00:01:24.413
but part of the problem
that Donostia has at

27
00:01:24.413 --> 00:01:26.964
present is because they
have not encouraged this

28
00:01:26.964 --> 00:01:28.602
type of housing in
particular.

29
00:01:28.690 --> 00:01:31.558
It is an old and tried
and tested recipe which

30
00:01:31.558 --> 00:01:34.368
provides affordable
housing in large numbers

31
00:01:34.368 --> 00:01:37.488
and does help to cushion
the price of free-market

32
00:01:37.488 --> 00:01:40.545
housing - but it needs to
be relevant, it really

33
00:01:40.545 --> 00:01:43.664
needs to be a significant
number, and it needs to

34
00:01:43.664 --> 00:01:44.778
be in San Diego.


35
00:01:45.112 --> 00:01:48.499
With its problem and with
the huge demand that it

36
00:01:48.499 --> 00:01:51.900
has, we have more need of
it than anywhere else.
