The housing prices topic is ranked third in the top ten focused topics survey held by the People's Daily Online and the politics and culture department of People's Daily for the upcoming "Two Sessions" (the National People's Congress and the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference). 85 percent of netizens surveyed called on the government to strengthen control over housing prices.

In addition, 70 percent of the netizens surveyed agreed with some experts' view that land fiscal policy of local governments was the main reason for rapidly growing home prices. They thought that government should work out thorough policies, take effective measures to make the realty market rational. The government should also strengthen supervision, take stern actions against power-for-money deals within the industry and fight against the corruption.

Netizen IP 60.160.226.*: The government should complete a transfer of its role. It cannot be a participant and referee and a stakeholder. Laws on regulation of real estate industry is very necessary. The government should impose property tax on those who owns more than two houses.
