The Terraces Community is John's low-cost housing for individuals or families earning less than $15,000 a year.

With a total investment of $1.4 billion, 22 52-story residential towers will be built in the style of the Beirut terraced skyscrapers designed by architects Herzog and de Meuron.

This skyscraper was originally a high-end residential building designed by two designers, but now John uses it as a low-rent house, and has built 22 of them in one go, providing 10,000 living rooms, which is simply inhumane.

The main reason is that John can't accept that the appearance of the building he invested in is not good-looking, even if it is a low-rent house, some people are very paranoid about the appearance, Jobs is one, what comes out of his hand must be perfect, whether it is a product or a self-operated store or an office building, a little ugliness is unacceptable, a little flaw is not good, otherwise it will be very uncomfortable.

Of course, such a tall low-rent house is not for everyone to live in, only if the annual income of the individual is less than $15,000 and the annual family income is less than $30,000, you can apply, but you must move out after the income increases.

As for the rent of $50 per month, the money will be used for the maintenance of the community, and John has a hard and fast rule that the people who live here must keep the room clean and tidy, and the property will be randomly checked at any time, and if the inspection is not qualified, it will be fined, and if the inspection is not up to standard, it will be asked out.

There were no slums in Staten, and when you were asked out, you either rented a relatively cheap house or left Staten.

As for sleeping in the park and sleeping on the road, don't think about it, you will be fined if you are caught by the police.

And begging in Staten is also a crime, if it is a foreigner will be deported to the place where the "hukou" is, every city in the United States is equivalent to a country, Staten will not use the money of his "country" people to support people from other "countries", it is very realistic and impersonal, but this also prevents other "countries" from driving the poor to Staunton.

Many local governments in the United States are unwilling to work poverty, and always like to follow some crooked paths, paying for the poor to buy tickets to be sent to economically good places such as New York and Los Angeles, and transferring this part of the responsibility to other cities.

If it is a local resident begging, then congratulations, the disabled will be sent to a care center, the neurotic will be sent to a psychiatric hospital, if you have normal hands and feet, then congratulations, two options are waiting for you, then you will receive the government's mandatory re-employment training, after the training you can eat public meals, the city is clean, green, ...... You can choose one of these public jobs, and the pay is good, 12 dollars an hour, 6 days off a month, much more decent than you beg.

If you don't want to do it, then you can only go to Alaska to do it, and I believe that you will become a little labor expert over there.

As for street singing and performing without charging money, it is not prohibited, and if you collect money, it is also begging, of course, Staunton respects your dreams, but please find a job to support yourself first, and then pursue the so-called dreams!

Of course, homeless people are a minority, because Stateton will be classified as the District of New York, and to enter Stateton, you need to explain your intention and go to the immigration office to apply for entry. There are only four categories of people who can enter Staunton, travel, work, invest, and go to school.

When visiting Staten, you can apply for a temporary tourist pass, which is very easy to apply for, just a few minutes.

After graduation, if you stay in Staten and work for one year, you can apply for a citizen card to become a resident of Staten, and then you can buy a house and a car here. Working people also need to pay a year's worth of taxes to get a citizenship card.

As for investment, if it is an investment in real estate, it is not welcome, but if it is a company or a business, it is very welcome. As long as your company has been in operation in Stateton for one year and has paid taxes to the government for one year, you can apply for a citizen card.

And the reason why Staunton wants to do it is, firstly, for law and order, and secondly, for controlling the city's population.

Staten has a total area of 1,300 square kilometers, and the entire city can accommodate up to 10 million people...... Problems will follow, so once the population reaches 8 million, the government will exercise control over the foreign population.

At that time, if the land is reclaimed from the sea, it will either be closed to the country, and only those who go to school and travel will be allowed to enter.

As for whether the population will exceed 8 million, that's for sure.

A livable and safe living environment, high-quality educational resources, low housing prices, sound social security, and numerous jobs, each of which can attract a large number of people to settle here.

Especially housing prices, Stanton will implement government price control, housing prices will be lower than the entire New York State, you can't afford to buy a house elsewhere, come here to work here for three years as long as you save an average of 3,000 US dollars a month, in the loan point, basically you can have a house of your own, of course, if you want to live better, you may have to do a few more years, but don't worry about whether your salary can rise or not, the government here has stipulated the corresponding housing price, and the developer cannot increase the price. Of course, if the house is left for inflation for a year or two, the government will reduce the tax revenue and will not let the developer suffer.

And in order to avoid someone speculating in the house, what is the price when you buy from the developer, what is the price when you sell, and the price is not allowed, so if you don't like Staunton and really want to settle here, it is a loss to come here to buy a house, because of inflation, although your house is sold at the price you bought that year, the purchasing power of the money is different.

Therefore, it will kill you to speculate and invest in real estate here, of course, you can also secretly increase the price, but don't be reported or known by the government, otherwise you will be fined.

As for why housing prices should be strictly controlled, according to John's words, houses are used for living, not for speculation, and people work hard but can't afford to buy houses, the sadness of this government is like Manhattan, how many people shed blood and tears, but in the end they can't afford to buy a toilet.

John didn't allow Staunton to do the same, but everyone who worked hard had to make it affordable for their families.

Of course, this is also because Staunton's tax system is different, and it does not regard property tax and land sales as the main revenue of the government, and only uses corporate income tax and commodity tax as the main sources of tax revenue.

Therefore, if the Staten government wants to live well, it must vigorously develop tourism, commerce and industry, otherwise the finances will be very tight.
