JAKARTA - President Joko Widodo (Jokowi) ordered that millennial housing with the concept of Transit-Oriented Development (TOD) or Transit-oriented Areas be built in other cities that experience congestion, in addition to Jakarta and its surroundings. "I have ordered it to be built, not only in Jakarta and its surroundings, but in cities that experience congestion. TOD is like this, ” Jokowi said when inaugurating millennial housing for Indonesia in Depok, West Java, quoted from Antara, Thursday, April 13. Jokowi said that the integrated millennial residence in the Margonda area, Depok, has a very good room and room. The residence is also equipped with adequate supporting facilities. “ Dan yang paling penting ini disiapkan untuk hunian milenial, yang kalau mereka membeli bonusnya dapat jembala. Bangun tidur, mandi, langsung jump sudah masuk ke (Kemeta Commuter) KRL. Kemana-mana pun bisa,” kata Jokowi. By integrating into the KRL commuter train line, said Jokowi, millennials can release their dependence on the use of private vehicles and help reduce congestion, especially in Jabodetabek. According to Jokowi, this millennial residence in Depok is offered at an affordable price, namely subsidized housing with FLPP around Rp. 200 million, and non-subsidized around Rp. 300 million and Rp. 500 million. "The “ Installment is also cheap, so it is very suitable for the housing of young people, millennial housing, ” said President Jokowi. SOE Minister Erick Thohir, on the same occasion, explained that urban areas will be more crowded, causing challenges to regulate transportation and housing for the community.

"A total of 58 percent of Indonesia's population is under 40 years and 81 million millennials with different statuses have not received housing facilities, therefore we, with the Ministry of PUPR, have the initiative to coordinate all SOEs, Perumnas, Adhi Karya, and others, and of course PT Kereta Api which owns land," said Erick.
