민주당 서울시당, 구청장들 만나 부동산 공급 논의…“탄천물재생센터 허황된 주장”

On 27th, the Democratic Party of Seoul Metropolitan Government held a meeting with Seoul regional district mayors to discuss the issue of Seoul residence supply. Kim Young-bae, the Democratic Party chairman of Seoul Metropolitan Government, vehemently opposed the proposal brought forth by Seoul mayor Oh Se-hoon for the Tancheon Water Recycling Center to serve as an alternative site for the development of Gwanmun Park.

He labeled it as "hollow political rhetoric" and "anti-argument". During a joint press conference at the Democratic Party of Seoul Metropolitan Government headquarters in Yongdu, Kim emphasized that the "two principles in housing supply are 'affordability' and 'rapid execution' at the present moment". The mayor of Gangnam District, Oh Gyeong-hyeon, who attended the meeting, stated that if there are any areas where the current restrictions can be lifted, he would actively discuss alternative solutions.

The head of the Democratic Party's Housing Supply Special Committee, Han Ga-eun, added that if basic redevelopment projects take more than six months for preparation, it would significantly hinder the process. Kim also mentioned that there was a request from the heads of local governments to transfer the authority related to low-annual redevelopment projects to the local governments, and he would actively propose this at the central party level.
