ROK Presidential Contender Mocked for Apartments on Top of Schools Idea
Why don’t they just knock down the old school and make an entirely new building? That seems easier than building on top of an old school:
Presidential contenders have come up with various ideas to increase the housing supply and prevent further price escalation.

The most sensational among them so far is former Prime Minister Chung Sye-kyun’s plan to build apartments on top of school buildings, a plan which is drawing huge attention ― mostly mockery and sarcasm.
Chung, a presidential hopeful of the ruling Democratic Party of Korea (DPK), announced the plan to redevelop old schools and turn them into residential-school complexes.
“On the sites of public schools, we could erect a building where the first to fifth floors are used as a school and the sixth and above floors as residential spaces so that parents and students can live there while the children attend the school,” Chung said during a press conference at the National Assembly, Tuesday.
Through this plan, he pledged to provide 200,000 homes in Seoul alone, as a part of his promise to provide 2.8 million homes nationwide through various projects in both the public and private sectors during his term if he is elected president next March.

Media lies.
This is just one step in a much larger and more brilliant plan.
See, on top of the school, you build a university.
And on top of that, a medical school or a law school, which means the next level is a hospital or a court.
On top of that, you get a morgue or a jail.
Then you get a crypt or a halfway house.
Y’all just jealous you didn’t come up with it first.
And here I just thought he was trying to start up the local branch of NAMBLA… because they didn’t want to hang around in front of the schools…
