오세훈 “어떤 일 있어도 용산공원 지킨다…대안은 재개발·재건축”

Seoul Mayor Oh Se-hoon recently criticized the government's housing supply plan for the Unification Park in Unification Park, calling it an attempt to hide their failure to control property prices. At a joint meeting of the National Power Seoul City and Seoul City Party, Oh said, "We cannot hide behind Unification Park to cover up our inability to control property prices."

He went on to say that "imposing the rules and principles the government has maintained so far and destroying the assets future generations will enjoy is equivalent to destroying trust in the government itself." Oh stressed that "no matter what happens, Unification Park must be protected and we will definitely protect it." He also mentioned that "there is already the most certain and verified supply alternative in Seoul.

That is redevelopment and reconstruction." Oh expressed his agreement with National Power Seoul City lawmaker Kwong Yong-se and met with Korea Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport Minister Kim Yoon-deok on the matter, just the day before. National Power Seoul City Seoul City Party chairman Byeon Hyeon-jin said of the 8·13 restructuring plan, "It's as if the Park Jong-in government has begun again with another round of loan regulations, tax bombs, and transaction regulations."

He added that "when you look at the contents of the restructuring plan, it appears to be insincere and cunning, and certainly does not provide a viable solution for residents of Seoul." Fellow lawmaker Kim Jae-seop commented, "Creating multiple layers of regulations to prevent redevelopment and redevelopment, and then building on Unification Park land afterwards is clearly the wrong approach."

He also pointed out that "this is not a reasonable supply, but a 'panic supply'." Kim added, "Even if I were to admit that property prices are the same now, they are worth 1.5 billion won more by next year, and I cannot believe this is the kind of mindset that President Jeomyung would have had."
