Both Democratic Party candidate Kim Dong-yeon and People's Strength candidate Kim Eun-hye all agreed to solve the housing and transportation problems.



They agreed to shorten the time it takes to rebuild the old first-phase new city and to speed up the construction of the metropolitan express railroad.



Candidate Dong-yeon Kim promised to supply half-price apartments to homeless youth and newlyweds.



He said that he would also continue the 'basic income for youth' policy, but he will continue the policy stance of former Governor Lee Jae-myung, who achieved unification in the last presidential election.

Candidate Eun-hye Kim promised to reduce the full amount of property tax for single households with a publicly announced price of 500 million won or less.



Discussing the responsibility for the 'policy failure' of candidate Kim Dong-yeon, who was the former deputy prime minister for economy, he argued the logic that the Yun Seok-yeol administration could do better with respect to real estate issues.

] In order not to end with a confrontation between Candidate Dong-yeon Kim, who united with former Governor Lee Jae-myung, and a 'proxy war' consumed by political battles, competition-based policy competition is desperately needed.
