Why did the residents of a community in Kunming, Yunnan, wait 10 years and spend 20 million, only to live in an unfinished building?

Recently, 30 residents have moved in one after another in the "Different Happiness City" community in Kunming, Yunnan. A resident said that he bought a house here in 2013. The developer promised to hand over the house in 2015, but the house was suspended from 2014 to now and has become a "bad deal". After that, the owners had no choice but to unite and raise funds six times. About 20 million people are engaged in "self-rescue".

Since 2014, the "Different Happy City" has been delayed due to a broken capital chain, and the delivery date has been delayed again and again. The owners have approached the developer many times but failed to solve the problem. In 2012, the developer vowed to the owners: A different kind of happy city is to bring happiness to the owners. Facts have proved that because Taimei’s promise was too young, the developer has now run away and no one has responded.

In 2009, it was verbally agreed that the house would be delivered in 2011.

In 2010, the internal group purchase price increased from 3,100 yuan to 3,700 yuan.

In 2011, the developer claimed that it was unable to start construction in time due to demolition difficulties.

In 2013, the contract price increased to 4,200 yuan, and the house was promised to be delivered in 2014.

In 2014, due to capital chain problems, the developer stopped construction after the cap was capped, and the delivery was far away.

In 2015, the owner rescued himself for the first time, and the 17 million he raised was used up, leaving a funding gap of 9.6 million before handover.

In 2016, the owner rescued himself three times in a row and was scheduled to hand over the house in October. However, due to problems with the developer, construction was suspended again.

In 2017, the owners launched self-rescues for the fifth and sixth time, raising 870,000 and 20 million in self-rescue funds respectively.

In 2018, the house was handed over. However, the owner must pay the property fees from 2017 to 2019 before he can get the keys.

So far, greening and roads have not been completed, and there is still a funding gap of more than 15 million yuan before it can meet the real occupancy standards.

After ten years of hard work, we successfully installed an elevator through "self-rescue" and barely met the delivery standards.

Extended information

The owners united to renovate the community

The owners moved back one after another because they really couldn't survive outside. During the years when the property was on hold, they could only rent a house outside. The cost of renting a house, coupled with several self-rescues, has already wiped out half of many people's life savings.

Everyone worked together to open the locked front door and decided to unite and renovate the community. This is your home, you have to move in no matter what. They moved in a bed and a small sofa, hung up the curtains and it became a "home". There is no water, ventilation, or electricity here. Water for washing hands and feet has to be fetched from the pool next to the construction site, and domestic water has to be purchased far away.

Children need lighting to study. In addition to small lamps with battery charging, they can only use candles. Due to the weather, there has been a large temperature difference recently, so they can only set up a tent to keep warm in a room without windows. It was under these conditions, which could be called very difficult, that plot No. 4 was in a mess, but there was no complaint or dissatisfaction that Benben expected.

The owners who moved here cheered up and built their own homes with their own hands. I spontaneously pulled up a banner welcoming home to cheer myself up, and started building infrastructure in the community with great success. The bare outdoor stairs were particularly difficult for children and the elderly to walk on, so they found discarded wooden boards to install handrails. It rained frequently, there were puddles everywhere, and there was not even a walkable road. Everyone moved bricks and paved the road together to prevent slippery roads and falls.

Chen Yanchun, who was the first to move in, set a fire in the open space. After the fire was extinguished, the open space became everyone's vegetable patch. On weekends, the children would come together to plant vegetables and water them. Without the living conveniences that community residents should have, they choose to make their lives "better" in their own way.

Because there is no water and electricity, it is impossible to cook at home, and more and more families are moving in. Chen Yanchun took the initiative to turn several work sheds at the door into collective kitchens and cook "big pot meals" for everyone. This saves money, just a few bucks per person per day. The aunt upstairs said, "If you call downstairs, we will go down to eat." Dozens of people gathered around and ate happily.

Although due to financial constraints, everyone eats vegetarian dishes. But they still felt very satisfied. There are no lights at night, and the owners often get together to chat, help each other, and take care of each other.

No one would have thought that spending half their life’s savings to buy a house in a school district would turn out to be a huge gamble.
