Lee Chuan-fu Criticizes Central Housing Cuts; Calls Citizens His 'Big Supporters' Amid Rival Endorsement

New Taipei City mayoral candidate Lee Chuan-fu has sharply criticized the central government's decision to slash public housing construction plans, stating it significantly impacts the city's residents. Lee announced his "Urban Renewal Five-Point Plan" on August 19, highlighting the reduced allocation for social housing.

Lee asserted that the central government's original plan to build 130,000 public housing units has been cut to just 30,000. He claims this reduction will result in a deficit of 13,000 units for New Taipei City. Lee questioned why legislator Su Chiao-hui, his opponent, has not spoken out on behalf of the city's residents regarding this issue, nor on the reduction in central government rental subsidies or the Interior Ministry's rejection of the city's proposal for "rent-only" labor housing.

The central government's original plan to build 130,000 public housing units has now been changed to 30,000, which will reduce New Taipei City's allocation by 13,000 units. This has a considerable impact on New Taipei.

Responding to news that entertainment industry figure Jammy Li has declared support for Su Chiao-hui, Lee stated that his "big supporters" are the 4.04 million citizens of New Taipei City. He pledged to visit all 29 administrative districts to listen to the opinions of the city's residents and solve their problems, emphasizing this as the core focus of his campaign.
