Cuộc sống tại chung cư không có thang máy

-----

A residential complex (chúng cư) in the eastern Chinese city of Hangzhou has unveiled “public transit elevators” that charge 1 yuan ($0.16) per ride, an initiative that could solve the problem of how to raise funds for facilities much-needed by elderly residents.

...In recent years, local governments have started accepting residential communities’ applications to self-fund additional elevators. In Beijing, 636 elevators were added to older residential complexes last year, while in Hangzhou, over 1,800 elevator projects have been completed in such communities since 2017, benefiting some 22,000 households.

However, installing an elevator costs around 300,000 yuan with government subsidies, which can be prohibitively expensive if it’s not shared by a large pool of residents. “As most of the residents here are working-class, there is pressure on them to bear this cost,” Du told local media.
