Each building is 5 stories high, with 150 rooms and a capacity of 1,200 people. The dormitory was completed in 2015, and since then, these two buildings have remained empty because no students have moved in.
The dormitory has been abandoned for nearly 10 years, a huge waste. If this situation continues, the building will deteriorate and gradually become a pile of scrap.
It is true that waste is rampant everywhere, in all forms. It is incomprehensible that student dormitories have become places to raise wild grass.
Simply because people carry out a project without market research, only by the will of someone or a group of people, so failure is inevitable. Like building a bus station but passengers and buses do not come in, building a market but traders do not sell, housewives do not stop by to buy, building resettlement houses but resettled people do not move in.
It's been nearly 10 years, the person who signed off on this project is probably still in office, who can we blame now?
So the only thing left to do is correct the mistake, not to let the state property be exposed to the sun and rain until it rots. Not to mention, we cannot let a beautiful piece of land in the center of Bac Lieu city become a home for insects and weeds.
The locality proposed by reporting to the Ministry of Construction, asking for the Government's permission to allow Bac Lieu province to convert the function of the student dormitory into social housing in the form of apartments. If approved, in the first quarter of 2025, it will repair and renovate 150 social housing apartments from the state budget.
Support the proposal of Bac Lieu province, because this is a way to limit waste, at the same time create opportunities for many people without houses to access social housing. Solving the problem of 150 poor households having houses is also a worthwhile thing to do, rather than leaving them abandoned.
However, the problem is who will be able to buy or rent apartments here, and what the selling or renting price will be to ensure the interests of the state and to harmonize with the conditions of the poor. Not to mention, it is necessary to ensure fairness in the purchase or rental of apartments to avoid complaints.
Poor people who do not have a house cannot buy it, and people who have a house can buy it, which is unacceptable.
