New Streets Spring up Every Year

Sighs of homeless people are heard everywhere today when science and technology as well as the economy is highly developed.

Large cities in the U.S. including New York, San Francisco and Los Angeles are well known to the world for overflowing vagabonds.

According to “The Los Angeles Times”, the number of the homeless has recently increased by 45% in the U.S. The AP commented that the number of vagabonds aged more than 65 will be almost trebled by 2030.

While the world is troubled with the vagabond issue, our country is vigorously pushing forward the construction of flats for the working people, not only in Pyongyang, the capital city, but also in rural cities, fishing and agrarian villages and remote mountain villages, thus satisfactorily solving the housing problem.

The construction of 10,000 flats in the areas of Songsin and Songhwa and the terraced residential district in Kyongru-dong which started in April last year was splendidly completed in a short span of less than a year. As a result, Pyongyang City has been newly transformed into a more beautiful city condensed with modern civilization. Mountainous cities and mining towns have also sprung up in completely changed appearance all across the country where the hurray for the Workers’ Party of Korea continuously rings out.

In spite of great trials and difficulties, our Party boldly initiated another large-scale construction of 10,000 flats this year with an intention to provide the people with homes of happiness. Three months have hardly passed since the beginning of construction, but flats in Hwasong street are already giving an imposing appearance, demonstrating the strength of Korea to the world.

There is no country in the world that provides people with houses free of charge. In the U.S., for instance, an ordinary worker should save every cent of his wage for 100 years to buy a 170㎡ flat. Even the cheapest two-room flat costs over a million US dollars.

By contrast, our people are provided with new houses at no cost by the state. So, whenever we hear about these facts, we keenly realize that we are living in the happy paradise holding the great leader in high esteem.

Our people are protected by warm care of our country, come what may. So we call it “our socialist home” with a surge of affection and spare no sweat and zeal for the country.
