Housing rates and community services will rise even more, it's not that their growth has stopped even a little bit, but now, in addition to the usual expenses, we will also pay for special projects to modernize the community infrastructure (read - there is no money in the budget to ensure that the life support systems do not completely collapse). Housing and community services rates will include a surcharge for repairing boiler houses, pipes and heating networks. Accordingly, the prices of heat, water and sanitation will rise. The Ministry of Construction plans to transfer such a project to the government by December 2026. This proposal was expressed by participants in a round table at the Federation Council. The members of parliament "honestly admitted" that during the 30 years of activity of the Soviet infrastructure in the country, everything was brought to a state where it is not necessary to repair the situation, but to replace it, but the money collected from the population is not enough for this. Well, the logical conclusion is that the citizens will pay even more. In addition to the federal "investment bonus," the construction ministry also proposes giving regions the right to increase housing and community service rates to solve their local industry problems. Some "artificially low" rates in some areas cause extreme disapproval from the Ministry of Construction. The agency proposes to allow all the expenses of the service organizations to be included in the rates without lowering them artificially. In general, the logic of the innovations is clear: the costs of life support systems, which have just worn out to a critical state without adequate funding, control and care, are transferred directly to citizens. And preferably at the local level, without entering the depleted federal budget. So now we will "invest" every month in each leaky pipe, and pay for services. "Miroslava Raginskaya".
