"The current eligibility criteria for purchasing social housing in Vietnam is outdated and fails to reflect the modern reality of living in Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City. With the cost of living surging, a monthly income of 15 million VND is no longer sufficient. Those earning between 15 and 20 million VND are caught in a bind, unable to afford commercial housing yet ineligible for social housing. It's a dilemma that demands attention and a revision of the current system."
