"Penghu's new homes have no class, and do not feel convivial," laments Lin Wen-chen. Most of Penghu's homes today have no grand front doors, and the ground floor is used as a garage that one has to pass through to enter the house. The old pleasure of sitting on porches chatting has disappeared.
拆除老屋改起新厝並不代表居住環境與品質提升，「澎湖的新住宅沒有品味，也沒有人味，」林文鎮感嘆，現在澎湖的房子幾乎都沒有門面，大門口就是車庫，要進家門得先經過車庫，以往那種閑坐門前聊天串門的樂趣都失去了。
