Chapter 62 Disputes over Small Property Rights Housing (2)
Tian Jun took off his glasses and smiled. "I'm not going, and I advise you not to go either. It's very likely that she's not telling the truth."
"I think so." Jiang Ningyue nodded, "But it wouldn't be appropriate not to go, so let's go and take a look."
"I won't go." Tian Jun refused.
"I'll go with you."
Ji Peng, who joined the company with Jiang Ningyue, volunteered, "I don't have enough work this month."
"Okay, I'll get a car from OA."
Jiang Ningyue glanced at the map and sighed, "This Canglan City is so far away. Isn't it just below Donghe City?"
Donghe City is where Jiang Ningyue last broadcast a live broadcast during a heavy rain.
Half an hour later, Jiang Ningyue and Ji Peng arrived at the underground parking lot and went to Jiangnanyuan Community in Canglan City with the driver.
This Jiangnanyuan community is very remote. It is not in the city center, but next to a tourist resort. The surrounding environment is really nice. It is not a holiday now, so there are not many tourists. It can even be said to be sparsely populated.
Let’s put it this way, Jiang Ningyue wouldn’t dare hang around even in broad daylight.
The crowd did not rush into the community, but first found a place to eat, and then went to Jiangnanyuan Community.
Arriving at the residential complex, Jiang Ningyue looked around and found the environment quite pleasant. It was filled with villas, the tallest of which was no more than five stories high. The ground floor had a small courtyard, and the complex was lush with greenery. There was also a large park in the center, and the internal entertainment facilities were very complete.
After calling Ms. Zhang, the two of them sat in the park. Soon, dozens of residents came from all directions, and the number was increasing.
Jiang Ningyue was already accustomed to so many people. She spoke skillfully, "We don't need so many people. Just a few people will be enough for the interview. Who is Ms. Zhang?"
"I am!"
A middle-aged woman came out, holding a folder and handed it to Jiang Ningyue. "Reporter Jiang, please help us! This contains a petition written by 570 residents of our Jiangnanyuan community."
Jiang Ningyue raised an eyebrow, glanced at the petition, which had hundreds of signatures, and then closed it. "Ms. Zhang, will we be at your home for an interview later?"
"Okay." Ms. Zhang nodded.
"Pick another typical one."
"Choose again." Ms. Zhang looked around. At this time, a middle-aged man raised his hand and said, "Come to my house! I have four or five gas tanks at home!"
"Okay, Master Wang, I'll come to your house later."
"Okay, the rest of the residents can just rest. There's no need to gather around."
Jiang Ningyue followed Ms. Zhang to her home. On the way, Ms. Zhang introduced: "As you can see, we have a Western-style house here, with two households per floor and six floors at the highest. The view is very beautiful. However, there is basically no infrastructure."
Jiang Ningyue asked, "What year was this community built?"
“We started selling it in 2010 and officially moved in in 2012.”
"Six years ago."
"right."
As she was talking, Ms. Zhang opened the door. I followed her to her kitchen and pointed to a nearly one-meter-high gas tank and said, "Reporter, look, every household in our country has such a gas tank. Why? Because there is no gas at home."
Jiang Ningyue asked again: "Is there no gas pipeline?"
"There is a pipe." Ms. Zhang opened the cupboard. "Isn't this a gas pipe? But this pipe doesn't carry gas."
"Why isn't the gas turned on?" Jiang Ningyue still didn't understand. "There has to be a reason."
"Yeah, that's it."
Ms. Zhang hesitated a bit, turned to the living room, took out a house purchase contract, and said something else, "This is our house purchase contract. We bought the house through formal procedures."
Jiang Ningyue picked up the house purchase contract. It was a thick contract with Haibo Real Estate Company written on it. It was a contract signed between the real estate company and the buyer.
"Why do you want a purchase contract?" Jiang Ningyue carefully recalled her interview process. In previous interviews, many residents only presented property certificates, but never a purchase contract. "No property certificate?"
"right."
Ms. Zhang hesitated for a moment and then nodded, "Our house has limited property rights."
"Oh!" Jiang Ningyue suddenly realized.
The so-called small-property houses can be broadly classified into two categories.
One type is collective property rights, where individuals only have the right to reside and cannot buy or sell.
Another type is housing built on rented or illegally occupied land without approval from any relevant national departments or procedures. This type of residential complex is illegal and non-compliant.
Obviously, it must be the latter.
Ms. Zhang quickly explained, "But when we bought the house, the real estate agent promised us that we could supplement the property ownership certificate. Moreover, Sanshui and Yiqi both paid the supporting fees when we bought the house."
Jiang Ningyue nodded. "So, you knew it was a small-property house, and then you bought it?"
"Yes." Ms. Zhang hesitated for a moment, then smiled sheepishly. "It's cheap. Also, many houses with limited property rights have had their property certificates issued later. So, we bought one too."
"Yeah." Jiang Ningyue nodded. "So what are you asking for now?"
"Our appeal is that we hope the government will improve our infrastructure."
Ms. Zhang said, "Every household now uses gas cylinders, which are not only expensive but also unsafe. Also, our water and electricity come from the resort next door, which uses commercial electricity and water. Our cost of living is much higher than others for no reason."
"Yeah, okay." Jiang Ningyue nodded. "How about this, let's go to the next one and have a look."
Afterwards, Jiang Ningyue visited several houses and found that every one of them had a large gas tank. Some families even had four or five gas tanks in their homes. Some gas tanks were even as tall as Jiang Ningyue, and standing next to them was very oppressive.
After the interview, Jiang Ningyue looked at her phone. It was now half past three, so she could still go to Canglan Municipal Government.
"Okay, Ms. Zhang, let's go to the city government now. If there is good news, we will tell you then."
"Please." Ms. Zhang held Jiang Ningyue's hand and said, "We really have no other choice."
Jiang Ningyue smiled but didn't say anything promising.
After getting in the car, Jiang Ningyue called the external relations director of the Canglan City Propaganda Department and asked her to help contact the heads of relevant departments.
The vehicle entered the Canglan Municipal Government compound without delay because its license plate number had been registered in advance. After Jiang Ningyue got out of the car, the head of the Canglan Municipal Propaganda Department came to greet her. "Reporter Jiang, hello, hello, I've heard a lot about you. I'm Li Ran from the Propaganda Department."
"Hello, Li Ke."
Jiang Ningyue greeted Li Ran with a smile. Li Ran was not very old. Currently, the government is promoting the rejuvenation of cadres, and many young people have been given opportunities for promotion.
Several people arrived at the conference room. Staff from the Municipal Party Committee Office, Municipal Government Office, Housing and Urban-Rural Development Commission, and other departments had already arrived. Among them were several department-level leaders. Judging from the configuration, they regarded Jiang Ningyue as someone who was very important to them.
After a brief greeting, they got down to business.
