This is already the second case I know of that people are getting kicked out of a location due to ingnorance and discrimination, set a side that the residents there are actually doing this out of materialistic reason … being downgrading of their property value.
The first case was for a care facility for psoriasis patients … they couldn’t get a new location because of landlords declining to rent …
Wow! Does that mean I can get my rich neighbour kicked? I mean clearly he’s stirring up feelings of envy and inadequacy in me and I’m sure many others. He has to go!

Now let’s get all the people with Hepatitis-B, which is also spread by blood contact and sex, and reduces life expectancy, and evict them too.
Oh wait…
They should just hit up every foreign trade office in Taipei and apply for refugee status visas…,and then camp out in front of each place to make a media frenzy.

A negative aids test is one of the admissions criteria at the Shi Da language center.
Weirdly, and most people don’t know this, that rule only applies to applications by mail. the registration office will enroll you with nothing more than a passport, diploma and fee if you apply in person.
There have been a few cases like this recently. Also big news has been a home bought for 10 previously abused children to live had to be sold because the community refused to let them move in (on the basis that they were trouble makers… as all children are whose heads get in the way of their parents’ fists are).
Mah ying-jou visited these HIV/AIDS victims recently (Friday, I think it was); publicity stunt, probably, but someone’s taking notice at least. From what my wife told me, the head of the community association ran down there quick smart to “have a go” at him, though.
