墓地比別墅貴 死後被迫蝸居
墓地比別墅貴 死後被迫蝸居

旺報 【記者師瑞德／綜合報導】
清明時節雨紛紛，路上行人欲斷魂；除了追悼先人，大陸民眾「斷魂」的理由又多了一個。根據調查，海南、廣州、重慶、濟南、深圳等地都湧現炒墓潮，一塊兩平方米的墓地動輒叫價十幾二十萬元（人民幣，下同）或更高，比別墅還貴！學者建議，不妨推廣「經濟適用墓」解決哄抬亂象。
一墓放5、6個骨灰盒
以靠近廣州市中心的墓地為例，普遍達到3萬元以上，廣州天河區中華墓園更飆漲到6萬到13萬元間；海口最便宜的墓地綜合費用也要上7000元，貴的墓地綜合費用竟達到了20萬元；而廣州一手樓均價為1萬3074元/平方米，海口全市商品房簽約均價7477元/平方米，可見得墓地每平方米均價早已超越房價。

由於買不起墓地，很多逝者不能入土，還出現了一個墓地安放5、6個骨灰盒的現象，有人戲謔地表示，「墓地價比別墅，居然死後還得蝸居。」
南海墓地漲幅逾15%
南海網調查海口的顏春嶺、海福陵園等多家知名墓地價格，結果顯示，顏春嶺的墓地的基本費用從2009年的3萬8000元一路漲到2011年的4萬 3800元，漲幅已經達到了15.26%，部分豪華型墓地漲幅則遠遠超過這個數據；據顏春嶺安樂園的工作人員介紹，該墓園目前最低的墓地綜合價約為 7000元，最貴的墓地綜合費用接近20萬；海福陵園墓地的管理處則透露，這裡最貴的墓地綜合費用也要接近20萬，並且清明之後部分墓地價格還將上漲。
《南方日報》則走訪廣州花都、天河、增城等多家墓園瞭解到，一塊兩平方米的墓地動輒需要數萬元，越是靠近廣州市中心的墓地均價越高，有些甚至高達十幾萬元；天價墓地的背後，有土地資源緊缺的因素，同時，也有不少商家趁機炒墓的身影。
大陸媒體調查發現，天價墓地背後，炒墓之風愈演愈烈；有學者批評，炒墓地就像炒房子一樣；墓地供需緊張的大背景下，有業內人士提出，不如推行「經濟適用墓」，同時要引導市民理性消費；廣東省社會學學會會長范英教授建議，以廣州的經濟實力，不妨推行「經濟適用墓」。
廣州市民吳先生認為，有錢買豪華墓地的畢竟是少數，收入較低的人群買不起墓地，因此，大陸官方可以考慮將墓葬作為一項公共服務來管理。

WASHINGTON — In the cosmopolitan US capital, singles are seeking everything from "Morocco" to "Ethiopia", "Kazakhstan" and "steppes", to "Ascot" and "Bourgogne."
In oil-town Houston, lonely hearts are looking for "rich" "entrepreneurs", while in remote Maine, they desire "unmanly" "vampiric" types.
Those are the words that come up most often on the profiles people write to describe themselves and their ideal soulmate when they join a dating site.
Dating Personals USA
Artist and composer R. Luke DuBois has put them together to form an interactive map of lovelorn America.
DuBois joined 21 online dating services to craft his project, called "A More Perfect Union," which maps the entire United States, replacing the names of towns, cities and neighborhoods with the words people use most on matchmaker sites to say who they are and who they want to be with.
"A More Perfect Union" is a census of people's longings, fantasies and even their dark sides -- like the people or person in Colorado who used "killed" most often on dating sites, and the one in Utah who was looking for "dead."
DuBois did not attempt to explain why American lonely hearts use certain words over and over again. He just mapped them.
He said his lonely hearts census paints a better picture of who Americans are than the official census carried out every 10 years by the US government, which "gives us insight into our income, jobs, homes, ages, and backgrounds."
"What if, instead of looking at whether we own or rent our homes, we looked at what people do on a Saturday night?
"What if, instead of tallying ancestry or the type of industry in which we work, we found out what kind of person we want to love?" wondered DuBois.
The maps contain "20,262 unique words, based on the analysis of online dating profiles from 19,095,414 single Americans," he said.
"Each word appears in the place it's used more frequently than anywhere else in the country."
Words are enlarged by mousing over them, although some of the maps -- such as the one of New York City -- are illegible.
On the easier-to-read state maps, DuBois's research tells us that people in the eastern part of Wisconsin are looking for "blindfolded" "German" "brewers" with a "saloon" and a "suntan", while residents of the Maryland suburbs of Washington are seeking "excitement" with an "interesting", "presidential" "senator".
In Massachusetts, "rugby", "avocados", "asses" and "Irish" are among qualities being looked for in a potential mate.
Southern Californians seek "artistic" "writers" with "tattoos," who are into "acting", "film" or "entertainment".
