1.

It's similar to what I heard before. Whether it's women who shouted 'no marriage' and enjoyed their 20s but couldn't marry, or ajummas, they're now shaking down the government for money after men. Of course, ajusshis and grandpas are included too.

If you give individual homes to single households while talking about 'climate whatever,' aren't you just accelerating the climate crisis?

With all the jobs in Seoul and insane housing prices, demanding public housing is understandable. But when it turns into brainless 'give it to me' demands for prime Seoul subway station areas and over 10 pyeong for single households, it just sounds crazy.

I agree. But far away, not near a subway station or whatever.

Did I leave it with you? (Sarcastic, implying entitlement)

If you can't beat 'em, join 'em, right? Should I do that too, lol.

I'm the only one without public housing (sarcastic).

If any public housing is fine, there are actually plenty of places to go, lol.

The only way to fix Seoul's housing prices is to clear out all the green spaces around rich neighborhoods, build public housing zones, and turn Seoul into a traffic and human hell with 30 million people. Then the rich will naturally move to places like Yangpyeong.

I want to live in a 34-pyeong apartment in One Bailey (a luxury apartment complex in Gangnam). Give me a Gangnam apartment!
