Gov’t to supply 90,000 rental homes in greater Seoul area for youths by 2027

> Koo said non-apartment housing, such as multifamily homes and compact studio units, can be supplied relatively quickly, helping ease housing difficulties faced by young people at a faster pace.

I hope they are looking into supply that already exists but isn’t being used due to finance / bad planning / what have you.

For example, where I live there are two shiny new buildings made for exactly the goal mentioned in the article:

* 아끌레르광진오피스텔 154세대, 1개동, 16층, 2024.12 준공
* 강변역청년주택아파트: about the same but done about two months ago

Neither of them have people living in them. The first one I think the company went under and the second had a lien on it for a while, maybe people will eventually move in but so far it’s just a dead building. So in my small corner of the city that’s some 500 or so people that could be living in these places but aren’t.
