Gou, Ko, Hou, Huang and housingBy Yu Kung 愚工Hon Hai Precision Industry Co founder Terry Gou (郭台銘), former Taipei mayor Ko Wen-je (柯文哲), New Taipei City Mayor Hou You-yi (侯友宜) and former legislator Huang Kuo-chang (黃國昌) have promised to attend a housing justice and judicial reform rally on Sunday on Ketagalan Boulevard in front of the Presidential Office Building in Taipei. Gou is one of the richest people in Taiwan; Ko was the mayor of the most unaffordable city in terms of housing prices; while Hou and Huang have large real-estate holdings. Seeing this band of four at the rally is likely to trigger outrage at their supposed “support” of housing justice. Are Gou, Ko, Hou and Huang like this? They know that housing justice should be supported, but would they support it seriously?
