[Breaking News] Gwacheon Mayor Opposes: "Why Should We Sacrifice to Control Gangnam Housing Prices?"
[Asia Economy Reporter Heo Midam] On the 4th, when the government announced that it would develop the idle land owned by the government around the Government Gwacheon Complex into a residential complex as one of the housing supply measures in the metropolitan area, Gwacheon City immediately opposed it.
Kim Jongcheon, mayor of Gwacheon City, held an emergency briefing on the day and said, "Supplying 4,000 large-scale apartment units on the idle land of the complex, which is the only space where Gwacheon citizens can breathe, is causing unbearable pain to the citizens and the city," and added, "We strongly demand the exclusion of the Government Gwacheon Complex and its idle land from the government's housing supply plan."

He pointed out, "The idea of supplying housing on the idle land of the Government Gwacheon Complex is to consider Gwacheon only as a means of housing supply to curb housing prices in Gangnam, and it is 'reckless development' to develop places that should not be developed," and argued, "The site should be used to establish an AI and bio cluster, which is a core part of the Korean New Deal policy."
