As staten in the "Lapalamian card of human rights", every lapalamian citizen as the right to have a house.
He/she can ask for a Lapalhome or he/she can ask a private engineer/architect to design his/her own.
Lapalhome were the first houses the community built when settled on the island, nowadays this term refers to vacant apartments or houses, the government keeps them to welcome newcomers or for unstable workers.
Every house have a credit value, if you prefer to live in a small apartment, a smaller amount of credit will be retained from your salary, bigger houses "cost" more. This distinction could sound normal, but it hides a totally lapalamian detail: your actual home "pays" for your future home or a better one for others. That means that all the credits Lapalam takes from your salary, remain in the Environmental Building economic area.
The amount of credits Lapalam keeps from citizens' salary (around 15% for middle-leveled wages, more for greater ones) decreses through time to reach the minimum rate (around 6% for middle-leveled wages, more for greater ones), in order to give people who demonstrate stability to afford more extras.
Your house remain yours until you decide to or must leave it, after this term, it belongs to the nation. A central Environmental centre keeps score of every relinquishment and movement. Every citizen can ask to this bureau for a finished/unfinished house or a building lot. For an in deep detailed view, ask a brochure.
