At this time, traffic in China Overseas Shipping Co., Ltd. was much smoother than it would be a dozen years later.
Xu Yiyang's car drove fast and steadily, and Shen Lele's parents kept looking out the window and sighing at the prosperity of Zhonghai.
Although the two of them have stayed in Yanjing for several years, that was twenty years ago. They have never been to first-tier cities like Yanjing and Zhonghai in the past few years, so they are amazed by the development speed of first-tier cities. .
When the car approached Zhonghai Yujing, Xu Yiyang pointed to the community not far away and said to Shen Lele's parents: "Uncle and aunt, this is Zhonghai Yujing."
Shen Yongming stared at it and sighed: "Looking at it, the buildings in this community are very grand, especially the distance between the buildings is very large."
Xu Yiyang nodded: "The floor area ratio of the community is relatively low and the greening is relatively good. This is why it is more expensive."
Sun Huiping said: "This house is indeed much more comfortable than many residential areas, especially in many residential areas in Yingzhou. The buildings are too close to each other. The sound of watching TV on the opposite side is louder and can be heard at home."
Xu Yiyang smiled and said: "That won't happen here. There are green belts and small gardens between the buildings. It's very quiet overall."
When he was about to arrive at the community, Xu Yiyang pointed to the construction site not far from the roadside and said to the couple: "Uncle and aunt, that is Zhonghai Metro Line 3. This stop is Hongkou Football Stadium Station, which is just a few meters away from the community gate. The distance of three to four hundred meters will be very convenient in the future.”
"Oh my God!" Sun Huiping said in surprise: "There is a subway station at the door of this community!"
Xu Yiyang nodded and said with a smile: "It is under construction. The subway is expected to open in the second half of next year. It will only be a little more than a year. When the subway is opened, the housing prices in this place will definitely rise again."
Shen Yongming couldn't help but sigh: "Then this is really a valuable resource!"
Sun Huiping suddenly remembered something and said, "By the way, Xiao Xu, I heard that your school may be moving next year?"
"Yes." Xu Yiyang said: "The school built a new campus by selling iron and steel. It is on the Songjiang side, but it is relatively remote. It is more than 40 kilometers away from here, and the location is far worse than here."
"More than forty kilometers..." Sun Huiping exclaimed, "That's really far enough!"
Xu Yiyang nodded and said: "It's a university town over there. I haven't visited it yet. I guess it's a place where birds don't poop now."
Sun Huiping said: "Then if you buy a house here, it won't be so convenient to come here."
Xu Yiyang smiled and said: "I don't live here either. Buying a house here is mainly for future considerations."
"Yes." Sun Huiping said in agreement: "When you were in college, it was more convenient to live in a dormitory to take care of your studies. The value of your house can increase here, which is good."
While he was talking, the traffic light changed, and Xu Yiyang drove the car to the gate of the community.
When the security guard saw the pass, he immediately raised the lever. As soon as Xu Yiyang's car entered, he turned left directly into the entrance of the basement.
As the car drove in, Xu Yiyang introduced the couple: "This community is separated from people and vehicles. There are no cars on the ground. It is not only quiet, but also safer for pedestrians. In addition, the community has two exits, one south and one north, both underground. , so it’s very convenient for cars to get in and out.”
Sun Huiping looked at the basement, which was as bright as day, and sighed: "We don't seem to have underground garages in Yingzhou."
Shen Yongming said with a smile: "You see, we don't have many private cars in Yingzhou. We can count the number of private cars in one community on one hand. There is no need to build an underground garage. It is too wasteful."
Xu Yiyang said: "Uncle, in fact, community planning is the same as city planning. If you only look at the present, or only look at the next three to five years, you may save some trouble now, but you will have a lot of trouble in the future."
"For example, many roads are narrow when they are designed and have weak passing capacity. They are fine during construction and may be barely enough after three to five years. But what about ten or twenty years later? What about private cars? The number may increase tenfold or dozens of times, and by that time, the city will become more and more congested due to the lack of foresighted planning earlier.”
Saying that, Xu Yiyang added: "Our current community in Yingzhou does not consider the issue of private cars, but the price of private cars will definitely become cheaper and cheaper in the future, and now the economic development momentum is strong. It is estimated that many families will have them in a few years." If you can afford a private car, then there will be more private cars and parking difficulties may be the biggest problem in many communities in Yingzhou."
In Yingzhou in the 1990s, and even in most small and medium-sized cities across the country, most of the residential areas were old and small, with dense buildings, narrow roads, and no parking spaces. Take Xu Yiyang’s family courtyard of an agricultural machinery factory for example, it was really a There are no planned parking spaces.
At first, I didn’t think there was any problem. After a few years, there were more and more private cars. The originally narrow roadside was full of private cars parked everywhere. It was extremely difficult to turn around after entering the car.
In such a community, not only will life become more and more troublesome, but houses will not be sold at very good prices in the future.
Shen Yongming thought about the content of Xu Yiyang's words and agreed.
The quality of a city in the eyes of citizens is not all about population or economy, but more about planning.
When roads were built in the 1980s, many national highways were two-lane in both directions, and most urban roads were also the same. Only urban main roads had two-way four-lanes, and there were very few two-way six-lane roads.
In the 1990s, national highways in provinces with better economic conditions generally had two-way four-lane roads, but in provinces with poorer economic conditions, they would still have two-way two-lane roads even two thousand years later.
For roads in the city, in the long run, the two-way six lanes of the main arterial roads can only be regarded as basic quality. If there is no good planning in this area at the beginning, the road is narrow and the buildings on both sides are close to the road, then basically there will be no widening possible because the relocation costs are too high.
Such cities all face the same fate in the end, abandoning old urban areas and developing new urban areas.
Therefore, after 20 years, many cities are half-new and half-old. The roads in the old city are crowded, the buildings are short and shabby, and there is not much improvement compared with the 1990s. The roads in the new city are spacious, all high-rise residential buildings, and various commercial facilities. They are also more advanced.
The reason is that the development plan is not long-term enough.
Xu Yiyang uses the perspective of a later generation to choose a house in this era. Most of the houses cannot meet his eyes. There are so many real estate projects around China Overseas, but the one that really satisfies him is Zhonghai Yujing.
Some of the other developments don't even have underground garages. If you think about a community like this, you'll know what will happen in the future.
The number of parking spaces on the ground is limited, and a large number of private cars are parked indiscriminately. They may even often seize the owner's property parking spaces or rented parking spaces.
Even if you lock the ground, there will still be many cars crossing in front of your car at night. When you go out in the morning, you will find that your car is blocked by other people's cars.
Those who are a little bit qualified will leave a contact information in the car, but those who are not qualified will not even leave their phone number at all.
Xu Yiyang has seen even more fucked-up people on the news. He just stops to block others, and leaves a 10086 phone number when moving the car. This kind of person really won't be punished even to death.
Shen Yongming couldn't help but sigh at this time: "When our community was built, there were no parking spaces planned at all. The downstairs were all rows of briquette houses. The few cars in the community occupied the road for parking, and half of the road was blocked. , if there are ten more cars, there will be no parking space in the community, and nothing can compare to this kind of underground garage, which is spacious and clean."
Xu Yiyang smiled and said: "There are property-owned garages underneath, which can be bought or rented. There is one space for each car, so there will be no need for others to park your parking space, and there is no need to fight for parking spaces every day."
With that said, Xu Yiyang parked the car directly in Shen Lele's parking space and said, "This parking space belongs to Lele."
"That's great." Sun Huiping sighed and said, "In this way, you don't have to worry about being caught in the wind and rain when you get out of the car when it's windy or rainy."
"Yes." Xu Yiyang nodded and said, "The biggest advantage of a basement is that it can protect it from wind and rain."
After parking the car, Xu Yiyang and Shen Lele took the two of them into the elevator.
The elevator room was also covered with golden tiles, which was bright and clean, making the couple sigh with emotion.
Shen Yongming said: "We are also people who have studied in big cities. Why come to Zhonghai? We feel like country people coming to the city..."
Sun Huiping said with a smile: "Compared with Zhonghai, Yingzhou is just a rural area."
As she spoke, she couldn't help but sigh: "When we were studying in Yanjing, there didn't seem to be such a good community in Yanjing. This community in Zhonghai should be top-notch!"
Big cities should be at least twenty years ahead of small cities in infrastructure construction.
Yanjing and Zhonghai had high-rise elevator residences ten years ago, but in small cities like Yingzhou, high-rise residences with elevators did not appear until more than 2000 years ago. High-rise elevator residences alone opened a gap of twenty years. , not to mention the subway and light rail.
In terms of subway and light rail, the difference between first- and second-tier cities is twenty years. In third-tier cities, the gap may be thirty to forty years. In fourth- and fifth-tier cities, the gap will be at least forty to fifty years.
After the elevator reached the fifteenth floor and exited the elevator, the couple was surprised to find that one unit was equipped with two elevators, but there were only three households on each floor.
Sun Huiping couldn't help but said: "It's enough for three households to use one elevator? It's such a waste to install two..."
Xu Yiyang smiled and said: "Two staircases and three households are the basic configuration of this community. The apartment I bought has two staircases and two households. There are also real luxury apartments with two staircases and one household. There is an elevator specifically for the nanny."
"Ouch!" Shen Yongming said in surprise: "There is such a luxurious apartment? There is an elevator specially provided for the nanny?"
Xu Yiyang smiled and said: "I also saw this on TV. I don't know if Zhonghai has one, but this type of apartment is usually several hundred square meters, and the living part of the householder and the nanny's living part are the same divided."
Shen Yongming sighed: "It's really a world of rich people."
While they were talking, the four of them had already arrived at the door of Shen Lele's house.
Shen Lele had already taken out the key and opened the door of his house.
