Lo-Sheng’s land is currently under dispute, and part of it has already been annexed and its buildings demolished by the Taipei City Government’s Department of Rapid Transit Systems (台北市政府捷運工程局). As a result, activists have formed organizations to help the residents, resist any more destruction, and advance preservation goals.

 

  In 1994, the Taipei City Government’s Department of Rapid Transit Systems chose Lo-Sheng’s land to build a rail yard for subway trains. The residents opposed constructions plans, issued in 1999. Demolition began in 2002. At point, the controversy started attract public attention.

 

  Activist groups called “Lo-Sheng Youth League” (樂生青年聯盟) and “Lo-Sheng Preservation Self-Help Group” (樂生保留自救會) were formed in 2004 and 2005, respectively. These two and a few other groups worked to save Lo-Sheng from demolition. Efforts were made to put Lo-Sheng on preservation lists. Nevertheless, demolition started again in September 2009. At this point,​ MRT construction has destroyed a large part of the site’s buildings. 

  In order to restore a portion of the site, the Lo-Sheng Youth League proposed the “Great Platform Formula” (大平台方案). This plan would have the MRT reduce the number of rails on the site and refill a large excavate hollow in order restore the front entrance and other buildings. After extensive negotiations the National Development Council finally approved it on December 22, 2016. Activists will now discuss the reconstruction plans with the ​Department of Rapid Transit Systems ​(updated December 30, 2016).
