“I find it ridiculous, if not disconcerting and irritating, to hear Modena Volta pagina complain about the lack of housing in Modena at controlled prices. They are the ones who, together with another segment of demagogues, including those who managed Modena’s urban planning in the last 10 years, they have dismantled Peep policies and replaced them with nothing.” It is a wild Daniele Sitta who lashes out against the alliance that supports the mayoral candidate Claudio Tonelli who, under the slogan ‘500 homes in five years for 500 euros’, has proposed, among other things, the transformation of the Home Agency into company 100 percent controlled by the Municipality, with financial and operational autonomy, with its own housing stock and a technical structure to operate in real estate brokerage.
However, the former councilor launches into a tirade against Modena, a page-turner whose supporters, including Andrea De Pietri, have often clashed with Sitta on these issues in the past. “Irresponsible demagogy on recovery and on the absolute ban on using new areas for construction have led Modena to be inaccessible for those with normal incomes, both for purchase and for rent. Today in Modena only houses are built for the rich ( starting from the Abitcoop which has no longer had areas for social housing for years) in the face of young families (who have to go to other municipalities) and in the face of students (who are lucky if they find a bed for 350 euros per month)”. If someone, he continues, “like Modena Volta pagina and company, undermines any economic and popular housing plan (like the Peeps) with the false promise of responding to the housing needs of normal people only with regeneration and recovery, it means that there is no will they ever give serious housing answers, but only hot air. And these people pass themselves off as leftists? With them, poor people and even normal families will have the certainty that they will dream of a house for another 5 years.”
