The main opposition People Power Party (PPP) has criticized the government's recently unveiled housing plan, claiming it lacks concrete measures to address housing shortages and ease people's burdens. The PPP's floor leader, Jeong Jeom-sig, stated that the government's plan is merely a rehash of previous measures and fails to deliver on its promises.
The government had unveiled a comprehensive package aimed at expanding housing supply and stabilizing both the rental and sales markets, with a focus on Seoul and other high-demand areas in the capital region. However, PPP leader Jeong Jeom-sig pointed out that 1.35 million of the promised 1.5 million housing units come from a public housing supply plan announced last year, leaving only 240,000 additional homes to be secured.
The PPP chief spokesperson, Choi Bo-yun, expressed disappointment with the limited supply of housing planned in Seoul, noting that only 1,000 units are planned despite strong demand.
