IL with 24 measures to facilitate construction and create "shock"

The President of the Liberal Initiative, Mariana Leitão, criticized the major parties for blocking housing solutions and proposed 24 measures to boost housing supply. She emphasized the need for construction and releasing idle properties to address the housing crisis. Leitão recalled past successes in housing construction during the 1980s and highlighted the population growth in Portugal, which has led to increased housing prices and rents. Her proposals include creating a national licensing portal, standardizing construction rules, and offering tax exemptions for property donations and sales. She advocates for faster, simpler, and cheaper construction methods to alleviate the housing shortage.
