Member of family opposed to urban renewal project gives in to developer’s demands (2014/03/14)
A surprise turn of events has occurred in one of Taiwan’s highest-profile urban renewal disputes. A member of the Wang family that is opposed to the Wenlin Yuan Urban renewal project has torn down a temporary structure the family built on the worksite. The move signals a rift in the Wang family.
The dispute between those in support and against the Wenlin Yuan urban renewal project is fierce. A split has also emerged in the family that has led demonstrations against the project.
Wang Yao-teh was a landowner of property that was demolished two years ago this month. Today, in a surprise turn of events, he tore down a temporary home that the family built in place of the original structure. This comes just two days after his father, Wang Kuang-shu, deposited a NT$17 million counter-guarantee with the courts. The money came from donations and was meant to temporarily keep the Wang family on the site.

I wasn’t aware that I gave birth to such a foolish son. He’ll come back and I’ll ask him who forced him to do this. I want to understand the reason.
Wang Yao-teh did not speak to reporters after the demolition but did issue a statement. He said his family’s recent legal loss in the case left them at a disadvantage. He felt the compensation threat from the developer made the potential losses from continuing the fight too heavy of a burden to face. To the son, accepting defeat was the only option left. The father disagrees.

He told me that we’re being sued for NT$200 million in damages. This child is a terrified coward.
Another member of the family, Wang Ching-chuan, is also unwilling to back down. He entered the site to stop work, in spite of the potential legal repercussions, and plans to build another temporary home.
王家不玩了
台北市文林苑都更案不同意戶王家,前年3月房屋遭台北市政府強制拆除,向法院提出「撤銷拆除處分」的行政訴訟,要求原地重建。王家去年12月獲判敗訴後,為了保住組合屋,週三才到法院提存反擔保金,沒想到才過兩天,就被王家人自行拆除,王廣樹父子不同調,爸爸仍希望原地重建,但兒子擔心被建商求償兩億元,決定自行拆屋,退出這場都更戰爭。
文林苑正反兩派分邊對罵,但這次王家不只有外憂,還得煩惱內部分裂。
兩年前三月,王家房屋遭強制拆除,地主之一的王耀德今天一大早,突然帶隊拆除組合屋,讓外界驚訝,因為他父親王廣樹週三才去法院,提存1千7百多萬元的反擔保金,靠著社會大眾熱心捐款,暫時保住組合屋,沒想到父子不同調。

我不曉得我生了一個傻兒子,他一定要回來的嘛,我一定會找他問清楚,是誰逼他這樣子做,要這樣做,我要瞭解原因啊。
王耀德拆屋後不知去向,他在聲明稿說,王家官司敗訴後,處於完全劣勢,等著被建設公司提出天價求償,慘痛代價將完全由他們父子承擔,抗爭代價讓他再也無法沉默以對,自行拆屋成為唯一選擇,但王廣樹並不認同兒子做法。

他跟我談到說,人家在提告我們喔,要求償兩億啊,因為小孩子沒膽,就怕得要死。
王家鬧內鬨,王耀德大伯王清泉和義務律師詹順貴,仍然不願退讓,冒著被告風險,進入工地阻止施工,打算將來還要重蓋組合屋。
