I remember the days, 20 odd years ago, when DDA announced they were selling SFS Flats in Vasant Kunj. SFS means "self-financing." So, if you wanted one you had to pay some money upfront and hope for the best in a "lottery." If your number came up, you got the flat - but not before you paid its entire cost upfront. There was no "housing finance" in India those days. These horrible flats are now worth over a crore of rupees (1 crore is 10 million). And as for the really poor - there are only slums, where none possess property titles. Over 50 per cent of Delhi's citizens live in such slums. Garibabad is the right name for this city.
In Daulatabad-upon-the-Sea all housing will be Private Property. And for the poor I will encourage "prefabricated homes" - like the one seen in the photo accompanying this post. There are many big companies in this business all over the world - and we will invite them to sell their products to us.
Land, of course, will be "homesteaded." You take over "unowned land" and then install your prefabricated home upon it. Just leave enough space for roads and footpaths, for public parks, and the like.
You pay a flat rate Property Tax in exchange for a Clear Property Title.
And your show is on the road.
So, who's coming with me?
