Housing
Movement stages 'sleep-out' protest CNA
TAIPEI--A group called the Housing Movement
was set to start a sleep-out campaign Saturday evening in front of The Palace (帝寶), a luxury apartment complex on Renai Road in Taipei City, to
protest exorbitant housing prices.
In response, the city's Daan Police
Precinct called on protesters to make their demands peacefully and rationally
and maintain order at the site.
The Housing Movement is scheduled to hold a
press conference at 9 a.m. Sunday after the sleep-out to announce its follow-up
activities.
The protesters are demanding legal
amendments to cover five areas of housing regulations.
They are calling for housing rights to be
incorporated into the Constitution and for forced evictions and demolitions to
end; reform of the housing tax system to stem speculation; construction of more
social housing for rental only, to make up 5 percent of the total homes in
Taiwan; a halt to construction of for-sale public housing; and development of a
housing rental market.
In response to these demands, the Executive
Yuan has announced government plans for an additional 34,000 public housing
units over the next decade, according to local media reports.
Meanwhile, the opposition Democratic
Progressive Party (DPP) said Saturday that it has come up with a comprehensive
housing policy and will collaborate with housing and residential scholars and
experts to achieve housing justice by amending laws and promoting tax reforms.

Can People’s Personalities Change? spring.org.uk
For many years personality psychologists gave the same answer as any pessimist: no, people’s personalities don’t change.
This was even more true once they got to 30-years-old. By that time, it was thought that if people preferred their own company or were overly neurotic, they tended to stay that way.
In the last 15 years, though, this view has changed. Instead of personality being set in stone at 30, now evidence is emerging that there is some change. In fact people don’t give exactly the same answers to personality questionnaires at different times in their lives. But are these shifts meaningful? Could the differences be more about the tests than real life?
Personality makes us who we are psychology.about
Personality makes us who we are. It influences nearly every aspect of our lives, from what we choose to do for a living to how we interact with our families to our choices of friends and romantic partners. But what factors influence our personality? Can we change our personalities, or do our overall traits remain constant throughout life?
1. Birth Order Can Influence Your Personality
You've probably heard of this concept before. First born children are often described as "bossy" or "responsible," while last-born children are sometimes described as "irresponsible" and "impulsive." But how true are these common stereotypes?
For decades, pop psychology books touted the effects of birth order on personality, but hard evidence on the phenomenon remained elusive until recently. A few recent empirical studies have found that such things as birth order and family size may indeed have an impact on personality. One study even found that birth order can influence your choices of friends and romantic partners; first-borns tend to associate with other first-borns, middle-borns with other middle-borns and last-borns with last-borns.
2. Your Personality Is Relatively Stable throughout Life
In long-term studies of personality, some of the most core parts of personality remain stable throughout life. Three aspects that do tend to change as we age are anxiety levels, friendliness and eagerness for novel experiences.
According to researcher Paul T. Costa Jr., there is no evidence our overall personalities change as we grow older. "What changes as you go through life are your roles and the issues that matter most to you. People may think their personality has changed as they age, but it is their habits that change, their vigor and health, their responsibilities and circumstances - not their basic personality.
Questions:
Can people’s personalities change?
What factors influence our personality?
What are your opinions about “first born children are often described as "bossy" and
last-born children are sometimes described as "irresponsible" and "impulsive."?
How to get rid of bad habits and become a better person?

「巢運」
巢運延續1989年無殼蝸牛運動夜宿北市忠孝東路的精神，民眾昨晚在帝寶前就地躺下，讓此波巢運活動聲勢達到高峰；昨天巢運活動有2萬人參加，但子夜後人潮漸離，在帝寶前過夜民眾約只有千餘名。
昨晚10時巢運主舞台活動結束後，一些家長帶著小孩在仁愛路上躺下，還有不少學生席地而坐玩撲克牌或筆電，部分參與民眾拿起大聲公開起小型說明會。
今天天亮後，巢運在帝寶前搭建「人民地寶」訴求居住五大改革：居住權入憲，終結強迫拆遷；改革房產稅制，杜絕投機炒作；檢討公地法令，停建合宜住宅；廣建社宅達5%，成立住宅法人；擴大租屋市場，制定租賃專法。
巢運發言人彭揚凱說，搭建人民地寶是要凸顯小老百姓願望很簡單，不需要豪宅，只需要25坪大小的居住空間就夠；他表示巢運會推動2016年立法院會期結束前，完成住宅法修法。
來自宜蘭佛光大學的陳同學從宜蘭搭車來台北參加夜宿活動；陳同學大一就背負20萬元就學貸款，沒想過畢業後能買房，他表示房價太高，就算用租的也是沉重負擔。
東華大學研究所學生鄭同學和兩位弟弟昨天一起參加巢運活動，他表示雖然家住台北，爸媽沒有買房子，全家人租屋而居。
內政部營建署今日上午回應，將研議租賃專法立法的可行性，內政部並研議於住宅法增訂租金補貼出租人減免所得稅，提供出租住宅修繕補助、修繕住宅貸款利息補貼。
營建署上午表示，巢運的訴求基本上跟政府推動居住正義的方向差不多，不過巢運團體要求5%比例蓋社會住宅，相當於要蓋到40萬戶，「兩方計算標準不一樣，是否需要這麼多，尚待雙方在專家學者會議中共商」。營建署預計於明日邀相關部會召開整體住宅政策專家學者座談會。
內政部指出，財政部研議以實價課稅，內政部配合辦理實價登錄，會考慮照顧自用住宅者權益。另外，財政部也會持續加強查核個人出售預售屋交易所得等項目，藉由個人交易所得免納所得稅以規避稅負等情形。農委會則研議農地未作農業使用課徵資本利得稅
