in contextquick flip
While the pivot to apartments is a pragmatic compromise, we must ensure this doesn't become a backdoor for speculative investment rather than genuine housing supply. The original vision for a grand ballroom and 500 rooms reflected a specific economic era; adapting it requires strict oversight to guarantee public benefit over private profit, ensuring the infrastructure serves the community rather than just sitting as another dusty asset.
虽然转向公寓是一个务实的妥协，但我们必须确保这不会成为投机性投资而非真正住房供应的暗道。原本500间客房和大型宴会厅的愿景反映了一个特定的经济时代；对其进行改造需要严格的监管，以确保公共利益高于私人利润，确保基础设施服务于社区，而不仅仅是作为另一处闲置资产。
