高雄城中城大火慘劇，燒出了都市老舊建物更新的必要性。然而，面對產權的複雜，都市更新的推動卻也常在最後臨門一腳時碰到阻礙，文林苑、大埔農地等案例，均是近年來著名的爭議。在這些爭議中，核心的問題是，究竟可否為了公益而強制拆遷所謂的「釘子戶」？「今天拆大埔、明天拆政府」這句廣為流傳的口號，代表了對財產權的絕對尊重，只要屋主地主不同意，強制拆遷就是暴政。然而，政治的本質是就是對價值的權威性分配，違背少數人意願的強制性必定存在，何以會在迫遷一事上被無限上綱？少數人不成比例的妨礙多數人的利益怎麼會有正當性？同一時間上演的南鐵東移事件，不就是為了公益而進行拆遷？對此，本文主張，即使在居住「正義」這樣看似純粹的社會議題中，殖民經歷下的族群政治仍是背後的幽靈。正所謂「非我族類、其心必異」，「正義」的標準也就因此而浮動，本文將經由一連串的網路問卷調查加以驗證此一推論。 The tragic fire in Kaohsiung's city center burned out the necessity of updating the old buildings in the city. However, in the face of the complexity of property rights, the promotion of urban renewal often encounters obstacles when it finally hits the door. Cases such as “Wenlin-Yuan” and “Da-Pu Farmland” are well-known disputes in recent years. In these disputes, the core question is whether the so-called “nail households” can be forcibly demolished for the sake of public welfare? The widely circulated slogan “Demolish Da-Pu today, demolish the government tomorrow” represents absolute respect for property rights. As long as the owners and landlords do not agree, forced demolition is tyranny. However, the essence of politics is the authoritative distribution of values, and there must be coercion against the will of a few people. How can there be legitimacy for the minority to disproportionately hinder the interests of the majority? At the same time, the incident of “Tainan's Railway tracks undergrounding” was not just for the sake of public welfare? In this regard, this article argues that even in a seemingly purely social issue such as housing “justice,” ethnic politics under colonial experience is still the specter behind it. As the so-called “not my race, its heart must be different”, the standard of “justice” is therefore floating. This thesis will verify this inference through a series of online questionnaires.
