The STX Housing Maths

Kwaku Azar

 

We are told STX is going to build 200,000 affordable houses at $20,000,000,000 ($20B). In JSP math that is an average of $100,000 and that is not affordable. In STX math, that is an average of $10,000 and that is affordable.

The STX math get even more interesting. First, 30,000 houses will be built at $1.5B for the security forces. Do the JSP math and the average price of the police house is $50,000. Of course, in STX math, it comes to $5,000 per house, cheap enough for every Inspector to afford one on their new SPSS (single Spine Salaray Structure) of $1.23 a day.

What does that leave the STX math? That leaves it at the remaining 170,000 houses (200,000 - 30,000) at $18,500,000,000 ($20B - $1.5B). Again, do the JSP math and now the average cost of the house ballons to $108,823.

So under the JSP math, each security house is valued at an average of $50,000 and each footsoldier house is valued at an average of $108,823.

And do not forget the value here does not include land, which is given freely to STX and it does not include laying down streets, connecting utilties, etc. which are all borne by Osagyefo (aka Government).

But in STXspeak it is all affordable for the average Inspector and Pupil teacher.

Some say JSP math is too difficult for those who do not do additional mathematics. How else can you explain that these students celebrate when they get a grade of 6? Others say additional mathematics should be required of all students. Further all university students should take calculus, linear algebra and statistics.

But I ask

Will STX Math Replace JSP Math?
