Core Viewpoint - The article discusses the declining appeal of high-rise residential buildings due to various inherent issues that have emerged over time, including high shared area costs, reliance on elevators, safety concerns, and future challenges related to aging infrastructure and marketability [1][3][6]. Group 1: Issues with High-Rise Residential Buildings - High-rise residential buildings have a higher shared area ratio, often reaching 25% to 30%, compared to 15% to 20% in regular homes, leading to increased costs for buyers [3]. - Residents face elevator congestion during peak hours, and any malfunction can severely hinder mobility, creating significant inconvenience [3][6]. - Safety risks are heightened in emergencies, as elevators may become inoperable during fires or earthquakes, complicating evacuation and rescue efforts [6]. Group 2: Future Challenges for High-Rise Residential Buildings - Aging high-rise buildings will face maintenance challenges, with essential facilities like elevators and plumbing requiring costly repairs that may lead to financial burdens for residents [8]. - The high costs associated with demolishing high-rise buildings, which house many families, make such projects financially unfeasible, resulting in a reliance on minor repairs rather than comprehensive renovations [8]. - The marketability of high-rise residential properties is declining, making it increasingly difficult to sell these units at desirable prices in the second-hand market [9].
