South Taiwan city to develop 8,800 social housing amid rising house prices

According to Taiwan News, Mayor Chen Chi-mai said the city of Kaohsiung would build 8,800 social housing units, as house prices rise during unconfirmed reports that Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co., Ltd. (TSMC) will invest in the city.
Due to rising demand for electronics and a shortage of automotive semiconductors, the business has been buoyant for TSMC, the world’s largest contract chipmaker.
Hence, the site of a former CPC Corporation has been the focus of reports that TSMC would soon release plans to build a chip plant in the southern city, but no confirmation has been made available.
