Housing problems will not be solved with the wave of a wand, government spokesman Konstantinos Letymbiotis said on Friday.
He stressed housing is one of the biggest problems – if not the biggest problem – for young people.
“It is for this reason that the interior ministry last October announced a comprehensive housing policy to solve the housing problem, particularly in Nicosia and Limassol, which may be worse than other cities.”
Letymbiotis made his comments during a press briefing to journalists, where he said “there are no magic solutions or magic wants to solve the housing problem from one day to another.”
Most of the government schemes have already come into force and have begun tackling the problem, he added.
