Kaohsiung in the News 高雄的新聞 (West 西) 5


There are 38 districts in Kaohsiung City.  The districts discussed here are all west of the Formosa Freeway (#3).  They're much more urban that districts east of the Formosa Freeway, have a much higher population density, and are generally less scenic. 高雄市分為38個行政區 。  這裡文章討論的行政區都位在福爾摩沙高速公路以西 ,  這些行政區和高速公路以東的行政區比較起來: 較熱鬧 、人口密度較高 、風景比較差。

5a.

24a. I can relate to this article on a personal level.  Xinxing District is among several districts in Kaohsiung where a new house or apartment will cost you an arm and a leg, while an old house or apartment is much more affordable.  Old real estate in nearby Yancheng is the cheapest relative to new real estate.  Xinxing is ranked fourth behind Yancheng for "affordability" in the linked article. 高雄 "這些區" 新屋貴 , "老屋" 還算便宜 (4)

NOTE: I try to include 30 news stories for each of these entries:  Since there are 28 districts in this area I used a random number generator for the remaining two stories.  

1. It's an old, old trick.  Not enough people voting for you in your district?  Register several family members or other supporters' households in the area where you're up for election!  I'm surprised they thought they could get away with it.

2. This said, certain parts of Nandze aren't that bad to walk around.  The area closer to Kaohsiung University, for example, or the Export Processing Zone on a Sunday when most of the factories are closed.  The traffic in that district varies quite a bit.

3. It actually has a fairly low rating on Google, and it's not easy to get to.  In my opinion there are much nicer coffee shops and much easier parking around the Art Museum.

4. All of this said, some of the houses and apartments in Yancheng are OLD.  Like, over 50 years old.  This is why they're so cheap.  Yes, an apartment within walking distance of the Pier 1 Arts Center is possible, but... how do you feel about seeing rats on a daily basis?  Elevator shafts infested with roaches?  Apartments with a view of... nothing?  You run into these things when looking at older places in Yancheng, Xinxing and elsewhere.  There are bargains on the market, but they have to be scrutinized carefully.

5. Probably road rage.  Sometimes Google Maps will diverts people down that road when the 88 Expressway is blocked up.  It's a stressful drive.
