社會住宅
Social housing — Chinese reading, HSK 7–9
文章
面對居高不下的房價，政府近年積極興建社會住宅，以低於市價的租金，提供給青年、弱勢家庭及在地就業者。這項政策立意良善，卻常在選址階段就遭遇阻力。

Faced with persistently high house prices, the government has been actively building social housing in recent years, renting it below market rates to young people, disadvantaged families and local workers. The policy is well-intentioned, yet often meets resistance at the site-selection stage.
部分居民擔憂社宅進駐會拉低周邊房價、影響治安，於是群起抗議，形成所謂的「鄰避效應」。然而，國外經驗顯示，規劃完善的社宅不但不會使社區沒落，反而能帶來托育、長照等公共設施，讓整個街區受惠。

Some residents fear social housing will drag down nearby prices and affect public order, and protest en masse — the so-called NIMBY effect. Yet experience abroad shows that well-planned social housing doesn't cause decline; rather it brings childcare, elderly care and other public facilities that benefit the whole district.
化解疑慮的關鍵，在於政府與居民之間能否建立起真誠的溝通與信任。

The key to dispelling doubts lies in whether genuine communication and trust can be built between the government and residents.
