Abulfazl Norouzi, former director general of housing economy at the Ministry of Roads and Urban Development, strongly criticized the 3-year ban on housing development in Tehran and Alborz, considering this decision to be against citizens' rights. Norouzi stated that this action will lead to an increase in housing prices and exacerbate the housing crisis in these two provinces. He believes that this ban will not only harm the housing situation but will also negatively impact the daily lives of many citizens.
Consequences of the Ban on Housing Development
Norouzi further emphasized that the ban on housing development severely limits opportunities for housing growth and development in Tehran and Alborz. According to him, this decision could lead to the creation of informal settlements and increased pressure on the rental market. In a situation where the housing market is heavily influenced by economic and social fluctuations, this ban could exacerbate existing problems.

The Role of Government in the Housing Market
The former director general of housing economy also referred to the government's role in regulating the housing market, stating that the government should help improve the current conditions by making smart and logical decisions. He emphasized that creating financial facilities and incentives for investors and housing builders could help improve the market situation. Norouzi believes that ignoring the real needs of people and sudden restrictions will only lead to temporary and unsustainable solutions.
As a result, it seems that the 3-year ban on housing development in Tehran and Alborz will not only negatively affect prices but will also impact the social and economic security of families. Abulfazl Norouzi pointed out that this decision is a form of disregarding citizens' rights and called for a reconsideration of this policy and attention to the real needs of the people.
