I fully understand why Gyeonggi-do is reducing welfare benefits

‌We need to look at reality rather than viewing this through a political lens.
The situation is that local municipalities are collecting all the tax revenue, while the provincial government is bearing the burden of regional infrastructure.
With the semiconductor boom, many local municipalities such as Suwon, Hwaseong, and Pyeongtaek are making a lot of money, but there isn't much funding actually flowing into Gyeonggi-do itself. In fact, due to the semiconductor industry and population influx, the province is using its own funds to maintain the regional infrastructure built previously.
In the case of Gyeonggi-do, it is only right that welfare policies shift from being centered on the provincial government to being centered on local municipalities.
What I am concerned about, however, is that the polarization between the local municipalities within Gyeonggi-do will continue to intensify.
