Xiao Wang's family was full of infinite longing and expectation for this one-ladder two-family house. Touted by the developer as a high-end configuration, the spacious space and user-friendly design seem to fit perfectly with Xiao Wang's family's dream of an ideal home.
The bright-eyed Xiao Wang couple couldn't wait to move in. They were pleasantly surprised to find that the interior space was more than a notch larger than the old-fashioned unit they had rented before, and the family of three walked around it without feeling cramped at all.
Both the living room and the master bedroom have plenty of room to move around and are suitable for more furniture. "Now the kids and we have more places to play and rest!" Xiao Wang's wife said with a smile.
This kind of area advantage also gives Xiao Wang the possibility of working from home. He enthusiastically planned to convert the second room into a small study, where a table and bookcase could be placed, so that the master bedroom could be freed up for sleeping and resting.
A spacious, comfortable and functional home is exactly the rhythm of life that Xiao Wang's family has been longing for for a long time. After looking for so many years, I finally have my own little world. Xiao Wang and his wife looked at each other and smiled, unable to hide their excitement - they seemed to have found the perfect home.
When I first moved in, the neighborhood was quite harmonious. Although there are only two households on the first ladder, they will also nod politely to each other, but not too much of a disturbance.
However, the underlying contradictions hidden beneath this surface have gradually become apparent over time.
The cause is the use of public areas. Xiao Wang's family is Xi walking and chatting in the corridor at night, and Aunt Zhang, who is directly above them, walks very heavily, and her life and rest are also very irregular on weekdays, and she watches TV at a loud volume late at night, and the sound penetrates the floor, making it impossible to sleep.
Mrs. Xiao Wang couldn't stand it anymore, so she went up and knocked on the door to theorize, and the two families became a bond.
After a few days, Aunt Zhang was going to decorate, and the workers bumped into the stairwell when they entered and exited, raising dust. Mrs. Xiao Wang was worried that the house was dirty, so she went upstairs again to discuss, and the two families almost fought.
During the renovation, the water pipe of Aunt Zhang's house accidentally burst, which affected the water supply system of the entire building, and all the residents were affected.
For a while, the whole community was talking about this matter, and the relationship quickly became hostile. Aunt Zhang became the target of public criticism, and Xiao Wang and his wife were not less blamed. The accumulation of contradictions is getting more and more, which makes people tired.
The community, which was originally a reasonable relationship, gradually exposed problems as the facilities aged. There is only one elevator in the community, and so many families live in it, and there are often queues and waiting, and the use efficiency is low.
This is especially inconvenient for Xiao Wang's family, who live in the upper floors. Every time he goes out and returns home, Xiao Wang must be fully mentally prepared in advance, and he can see the crowd of people waiting in front of the elevator from a long distance.
When the elevator occasionally breaks down and is out of service, it is even more anxious, and Xiao Wang can often only push large bags and small bags, and climb more than a dozen floors step by step.
The distress of many elderly people in the community lies in the stairs without elevators. They already struggle to get up and down the stairs, and some people with limited mobility can barely leave their homes.
Xiao Wang's parents live on the third floor, and if they want to go out, they can only ask someone to support them, which is very inconvenient.
The owners of the community have repeatedly requested the installation of elevators, but this requires the consent of all owners and the cost of paying out of their own pockets. Aunt Zhang was resolutely opposed, and her attitude became more and more tough after the relationship with Xiao Wang's family deteriorated.
As a result, the proposal to install an elevator was shelved and could not be implemented.
The renovation created jobs, but the construction process caused great disruption to residents' lives.
The pile driver on the construction site shook the sky, and Xiao Wang's family was forced to get up early every day and be greedy for darkness. The dust generated by the renovation is even more pervasive, and no place is clean. Mrs. Xiao Wang worked hard all day, and her face and hands were full of stains.
Things at home have to be wiped once every two days, which is extremely cumbersome.
The workers' loud noises and shouts continued to penetrate the eardrums. The community has become a construction site, people are panicking, and the quality of life of Xiao Wang's family has plummeted.
Unable to bear it anymore, Xiao Wang's wife cried and asked to move out of this place. Xiao Wang reluctantly endured it for a while, and finally decided to move immediately. They couldn't bear this kind of life anymore.
After a lot of hardships, Xiao Wang's family finally moved out of the old community of one ladder and two households that disappointed them. When he picked up his luggage and left, Xiao Wang couldn't help but sigh deeply, and all kinds of unbearable past events were replayed in his mind.
The design of one ladder and two households seems to be humane, but in fact it is full of problems. There is nowhere to release the conflicts between neighbors, and public facilities cannot keep up with the demand, making life difficult.
This made Xiao Wang's family also have a deep reflection on the development of the real estate industry.
I used to blindly believe in the developer's touting, but now I think about it is too naïve. They vigorously promote one ladder and two households, but it is just to maximize their own interests. He didn't care about the owner's subsequent feelings.
This rigid design method is destined to fall into the trap of the original vulgarity.
If the real estate industry does not seek truth from facts, and only blindly chases gimmicks and hype, then the trend of one ladder and two households will eventually be set aside by people and see the light of day.
The industry also needs to continue to evolve and innovate in order to truly meet the changing needs of consumers.
Xiao Wang decided that he must prepare for the next house purchase and not be deceived again. The house means a lot to them, and the real estate company should give back to every owner with a more responsible attitude.
