Few months ago, I had a flick through the channels and I came across Guryong village issue just for a second. The scene I saw was a kind of black-and-white photo of Guryong village. In the photo, there were luxurious apartment buildings and shanty houses stood behind them on the brink of collapse. But I didn’t have any other thoughts about it before I got the information from the presentation.
The photo I saw on the TV and Guryong village presentation made me feel pity for Guyrong village residents at first. But on the objective view, we shouldn’t solve this problem with sympathy just because village residents are poor and pitiful. In the world, there are countless people who are in extreme poverty but still keep on the right side of the law.
I’d like to talk about questions which we discussed during the presentation. For the matter of redevelopment of the cities and some caused sacrifices, I’m positive about redevelopment. Also I’ll say we can’t deny that some sacrifices are necessary for the public good. Conflicts exist everywhere because no matter what problem it is, people have their own interests and they consider only their benefit. So government can’t satisfy everyone all the time and the public good is the top priority for government. The thing is that government should try to minimize sacrifices and prepare appropriate and realizable solutions. I read several articles about Guryong village and found out some residents have money and land. But they insist their right about illegal house because they know that they could get any kind of compensation from government in the near future. We can’t give a sympathy vote for them.
About the last question; possible solution for this problem, I think, thorough research should be conducted in property and income of villagers first. And then offer rented apartment or shelters. I know government and cities have many policies to offer house for lower-income group. So I hope government and villagers reach the best possible middle ground in the near future.
I agree with your opinion that the government should minimize the problems that few people should get when the redevelopment runs. But I guess it is still hard to get appropriate solutions for now.
답글삭제I totally agree with you. These days there is a huge issue about parking in Gangnam area. However since those people were asked to move to Guryong village by the government, it would be rather inhumane to ask them to leave without supporting them. I also think that the government should provide the residents of Guryong village with proper housing, thus they'd be able to use that area for the much needed parking lot.
답글삭제I agree with you. When i was highschool student, i live in near the Guryoung village , towerpalace. I think Guryoung village residents are so poor. But they go against the law, and their house is absolutely illegal house. We can’t give a sympathy vote for them.
답글삭제Acutally, I agree with your opinion about to not give a sympathy vote for them. I think there are illegal place so goverment doesn't need to compesate for them.
답글삭제However, there are poor people so they need to help from goverment. so I think why don't they go to another city such as country side.

답글삭제Yes, government should help to them like disaster. On the other hand, some of them deceive other member and want to receive unreasonable compensation. In my opinion, it's unfair.
답글삭제I agree your opinion. my opinion is that the government have to consider the resident without distinction and the government should receive the low rental fee.
답글삭제Yes The government should assist them. Because it is the duty of the government. They make other project for poor people if they want redevelop the village.
