Taiwan's old houses and dangerous buildings are spread all over Taiwan. The outer walls of many old-fashioned buildings are not only dirty, but also the crisis of detaching tiles at any time! More than 80% of the old houses need to be old houses, but they want to rely on the spontaneous housing of the community. Often because most homeowners are not willing to spend more, the success of the old house is low.
However, all counties and municipalities are now actively planning to provide old house subsidies, to reduce the construction costs by subsidies to enhance the people's willingness to renovate, and to promote the renovation and beautification of old house buildings.
