Many homeless citizens are reacting with shame as the government is known to include plans to renovate hotels in the city center and supply them as public rental housing in the statute measures scheduled to be announced on the 19th. This is due to that if a hotel room is converted to a house, it will likely be in the form of a room and the supply will be small.

At the Kwanhoon Club discussion meeting held at the Korea Press Center in Jung-gu, Seoul on the 17th, Nak-yeon Lee, the representative of the Democratic Party, said: “The Korea Land and Housing Corporation (LH ) or the Seoul Urban and Housing Corporation (Seoul Housing and Urban Planning Corporation (SH Corporation) insured purchased housing or public rental housing, “It will include a plan to release it or convert it into a house and put it up for rent or rental.”

He added that “there are cases in which hotels are released due to the contraction of the tourism industry, but there are also plans to offer rental and jeon changing the hotel room for residential use.”

In response, real estate-related Internet communities and others showed dubious reactions to such measures for jeon and monthly rent. There were high expectations that it would be difficult to solve the problem of insufficient rental volume as the offer was only in the hundreds level, with some pointing out that it did not fit the meaning of ‘home’ that gives comfort.

Park Mo (30), an office worker, said: “Hotels have many styles of one bedroom, but people need an apartment with a living room and two or three bedrooms. If you think a family lives in a hotel room, ‘Hocance (hotel + vacation) “It is possible to spend a day or two like this, but it will be difficult to feel the same comfort as my home.”

He said: “I can welcome young people who need a study, but I doubt how many hotels can be renovated for residential use. I hope the government will present a fundamental policy instead of a public relations policy that announces that it has a real estate policy. “.

Kang Mo, a 30-year-old office worker, said: “I knew that if I worked hard and saved money, even if I had nothing, I could have a house where I could lie down.” He also expressed his discontent, “Is he supposed to live in a renovated hotel?”

Even in the Internet community, “Is there a difference between a good little installation?” “Is it curious if the countermeasure to the jeonse crisis is supplying high-end gosiwon?” Although it is a place, even if it is renovated, it will be very different from the one built for residential use. ”

There have also been attempts to renovate a hotel room and use it as a home. In May last year, the Seoul Metropolitan Government converted a hotel in Sungin-dong, Jongno-gu into a “back area youth accommodation” and supplied it. At the time, it was controversial as he received only 279,000 won for option fees, including rental fees for furniture like bedding and wardrobes, in addition to the monthly rent. As a result, 180 households, 90% of the 200 households eligible for ten to one, surrendered.

Gang Mo (26), a hotel renovation case in Seoul, said: “The youth station area housing that has already been renovated has become a case of failure, but the reason why we came up with a The countermeasure is that we do not have the will to fundamentally solve the real estate problem. ” “It’s about people living and finding a stable life, but a rental house turned into a hotel doesn’t fit this concept.”
