Outrage over the long term vacancy of social housing in Utrecht

“In the social housing complex 507 in Lombok, there are more than twenty vacant ground-floor apartments, not to mention the upstairs apartments,” says Pepijn Zwanenburg of GroenLinks. There are also empty rental properties in the Sterrenwijk, which were recently squatted by squatters who wanted to “make a statement.” Zwanenburg asked questions on behalf of five parties to the councilor for Housing and Housing, who is remarkably mild towards the corporation.
