JAKARTA - Candidate for Governor number 3, Pramono Anung wants to build housing on government-owned buildings, such as health centers to sub-district offices if he wins the Jakarta gubernatorial election.

However, Pramono emphasized that not all residents can occupy the residence. The rental occupancy above the government building will be intended for the lower class.

"The priority of course is the most important priority is the people in need. Not the upper middle class, but the lower middle class," said Pramono at Gelora Bung Karno, Monday, October 7.

The concepts that Pramono plans, government buildings such as health centers, schools, village offices, and sub-districts are still intended according to their functions.

Then, the government added the construction of the number of floors for the creative space or community work, and on the upper floor it was added for housing. Pramono said the addition of floors for this residence could be done in many areas.

"It can be anywhere, because almost all areas in Jakarta have sub-districts, have health centers. There are also more than 44 health centers. In urban villages, even now there are health centers," Pramono explained.

Pramono assessed that the DKI Provincial Government really needs to innovate in meeting residential needs for Jakarta residents. This is because the limited vacant land in Jakarta makes land prices even more expensive.

This also makes it increasingly difficult for people to get affordable housing based on their economic conditions. Thus, the addition of the floor of government buildings that are used as housing needs to be considered.

"The main problem in Jakarta is land acquisition. Learning from the experience at JIS, Kampung Bayam, and so on, land acquisition starting from 1992 only finished in 2013 in Pak Jokowi's time. With the increasingly difficult land, there must be innovation," he explained.
