Font size

Zhang Qikai, the Chiayi mayoral candidate of the Blue and White People's Party, held a press conference today to exchange ideas on housing policies for youths in the two cities. He announced the three-arrow policy of "raising good homes, vigorously building social housing, and affordable housing" to make young immigrants willing to return to Chiayi City to start a family and start a business. "Chiayi son-in-law" Taoyuan Mayor Zhang Shanzheng and Chiayi Mayor Huang Minhui came to support. Zhang Shanzheng affirmed Zhang Qikai's proposal of marriage and childbirth rent subsidies and affordable housing policies, and believed that they were of great significance in attracting young people to return home.

Zhang Qikai proposed three arrows of housing justice: "Bringing up a good home": borrowing from the marital housing policies of Busan and Incheon, South Korea, for the first child, the city government will add 3,000 yuan per month on top of the central subsidy for up to 12 years; for the second child, a combination of social housing, chartered hosting and rent subsidies will be provided to qualifying families with full rent subsidies for up to 12 years, so as to achieve "having two children, living rent-free for 12 years."

"Building social housing vigorously": In conjunction with the development around Beigang Road, Jiabei Station and the light rail, it is planned to add 2,000 social housing units; short-term priority will be given to matching vacant houses and putting them into leasing and management to increase the supply of housing for young families with marriages and children.

"Affordable Housing": With reference to the Taoyuan Municipal Autonomy Ordinance, through urban planning feedback, TOD development and builders' donations, young people can not only afford rent, but also have the opportunity to buy their own home at a reasonable price.

Zhang Shanzheng shared Taoyuan's "affordable housing" innovative system. He emphasized that affordable housing not only allows young people to afford housing, but the revenue generated by the city government from selling affordable housing can also be used to reinvest the cost of social housing construction, forming a virtuous cycle in which "affordable housing supports social housing, and social housing takes care of the disadvantaged."

Zhang Shanzheng affirmed Zhang Qikai's proposal of rent subsidies for marriage and childbirth and affordable housing policies, and believed that they were of great significance in attracting young people to return home.

Huang Minhui asked the public to "support Zhang Qikai just like they supported her in the past", cheer for Zhang Qikai together, and then work together with the next generation for the future of Jiashi City.

Indiscriminately practicing air pollution laws! Taipower and Taiwan Cement Co., Ltd. have been hit, and Blue and White are forcing "universal power cuts" in 2028.

The Legislative Yuan is negotiating on amending the air pollution law, and the opposition party proposes to limit the service life of coal-fired units in the power industry. The Ministry of Economic Affairs warned that this move will affect more than 9.72 million kilowatts of power generation capacity. If all medium-fire coal-fired units are shut down next year, the reserve capacity may turn negative from 2028 to 2029, facing the risk of power shortages and power rationing.
