Housing construction works well most places
Bustadbygginga fungerer godt dei fleste stader
Navarsete refers to the report The price response of housing construction from the Norwegian institute for Urban and Regional Research (NIBR).
Navarsete syner til rapporten Boligbyggingens prisrespons frå Norsk institutt for by- og regionforskning (NIBR).
In most areas, construction has adapted to demand, but construction rates in the four largest cities are too low to maintain housing coverage.
I dei fire største byane har derimot bygginga vore for låg til halde oppe bustaddekninga.
NIBR also points out factors that have impeded housing construction in the large cities.
NIBR peikar også på kva som har bremsa bygginga av bustader i storbyane.
Some of the explanation lies in low turnover and land zoning, while municipal case processing also takes a long time.
Noko av forklaringa er låg omsetning og regulering av tomter.
Other hindrances are at the state level, such as quality requirements for housing.
Andre hindringar går på statleg nivå, som til dømes kvalitetskrav på bustader.
