Seoul 360,000-home construction pledge puts Jeong Won-oh on offense against Oh Se-hoon

Democratic Party Seoul mayoral candidate Jeong Won-oh countered People Power Party candidate Oh Se-hoon’s offensive on real estate by presenting a large-scale housing supply plan to start construction on 360,000 homes in Seoul by 2031. According to the original report, Oh had focused on real estate, an issue he views as a weakness for the Democratic candidate. Jeong responded by making expanded housing supply his central countermeasure. The key figure in the proposal is 360,000 housing starts within Seoul. The pledge shows that real estate policy could become a major point of competition in the Seoul mayoral race. Source: mk.co.kr.
