Seoul Still Hoping to Turn Yongsan Garrison Into A City Park
So it appears the Koreans are still hoping to turn Yongsan Garrison into a giant city park:
Yongsan, along with other U.S. Forces Korea bases in and north of Seoul, will eventually be turned over to South Korea as part of a long-planned relocation of most Army forces on the peninsula to regional hubs in Daegu and Pyeongtaek. Although a handful of buildings at Yongsan are expected to remain under U.S. control, South Korea plans to turn the 635-acre base into a massive Central Park-like green space. (Stars and Stripes)
You can read more at the link, but I would not be surprised if a good chunk of that land becomes apartment buildings.
Ahh come on, the Korean government always spends wisely in the best interest of the average Korean, see?:

I’ll believe it when I see it. Walk into any random real estate agency in the city and each of them have a blow-up “artist rendering” of what that space is going to look like – each one wildly different than all the others. It’ll never happen.
