Yin Jui-rong, an aboriginal farmer whose village was also destroyed, says he won't go back even if it gets rebuilt. "I'd be terrified every time it rains," Yin says. "Our future is a very difficult problem to solve...
...professor of post-colonial literature at London's Goldsmiths College and author of a book on Kureishi, places the writer in the tradition of Dickens and H.G.

The current ratio there is 14.6, significantly below where it's been over the past 15 years (19.3). But that average has been influenced by the go-go years. Exclude them - by looking at just the 1990s, say - and the result isn't so clear-cut. The '90s-only ratio, 13.9, indicates that renting is still a slightly favorable option...
