Housing shortage has become a serious urban social issue in many parts of the world. It has been argued that only when the government has taken actions,can demand for homes be fulfilled. Yet to the best of my knowledge, the government alone cannot cope well with housing shortages.
住房短缺已成为世界许多地区一个严重的城市社会问题。有人认为，只有政府采取行动，才能满足住房需求。然而，据我所知，仅靠政府无法很好地解决住房短缺问题。
One of the main objections to government intervention is that it would hamper the private sector and simultaneously pose a huge burden upon the state.
对政府干预的主要反对意见之一是，这将阻碍私营部门，同时给国家带来巨大负担。
In countries where the government is on a tight budget and the homeless population is large, the involvement of private property developers is required and recommended. Not only does it release the government from the burden of funding large-sized construction programmes but it also fosters the housing industry. Given its role in attracting public consumption and accelerating
economic development, the housing industry should be at the mercy of the market,rather than the government.
在政府预算紧张、无家可归人口众多的国家，需要并建议私人房地产开发商参与。它不仅使政府摆脱了资助大型建筑项目的负担，而且还促进了住房行业的发展。鉴于房地产行业在吸引公众消费和加速经济发展方面的作用，它应该任由市场而不是政府摆布。
Another drawback of state control over the housing market is that it could result in the stagnancy of construction quality, functionality, facilities and other aspects of housing. Apartment blocks or other residential constructions would be built in a similar pattern and the cityscape would be monotonous.
国家对住房市场控制的另一个缺点是，它可能导致住房的建筑质量、功能、设施和其他方面停滞不前。公寓楼或其他住宅建筑将以类似的模式建造，城市景观将单调乏味。
Excessive uniformity, especially in the size and number of rooms, will fail to meet comprehensive requirements raised by citizens on properties.
过度统一，尤其是房间的大小和数量，将无法满足公民对房产提出的全面要求。
Despite these objections, government intervention is essential in some segments of the market and can render more resistance to citizens. Single parents, the people with disabilities and other disadvantaged people are among those who are not ready to afford commercial housing. The government can provide them either with housing allowance to purchase their private properties or directly with economical houses.
尽管有这些反对意见，但政府干预在某些市场领域至关重要，可能会给公民带来更多阻力。单身父母、残疾人和其他弱势群体还没有准备好购买商品住房。政府可以为他们提供购买私人房产的住房补贴，也可以直接提供经济适用房。
As indicated above, in addressing homelessness and inadequate housing, the joint effort of both government and private sector is required. While government intervention would impede the property market and negatively influence the supply and demand relationship, government assistance is essential for low-income families and vulnerable individuals in need of housing,
如上所述，在解决无家可归和住房不足问题时，需要政府和私营部门共同努力。虽然政府干预会阻碍房地产市场并对供求关系产生负面影响，但政府援助对低收入家庭和需要住房的弱势群体至关重要，
