    ?

    Why would the CCP change HK policy to be different from Shenzhen?

    The fudging of the boundary to allow Shenzhen access to the NT land is the policy we should be watching for

    I see no desire to solve it. There is plenty of land and lots of empty flats.

    So, a starting point of what I assume is a gross 200SQft? To put that in perspective, that's only slightly larger than a modern jail cell in Australia to house 1 inmate. That's just pathetically sad that one's government expects its poorer civilians to be expected to live in such cramped living space.

    Shakes head, talk about motivating poorer civilians to find somewhere else overseas to live that offers much more civilised living space. Maybe that's the objective for the Monaco of Asia? At least in Monaco, the working class live comfy across the French border and drive or bus it into work each day.

    Maybe HK needs to do the same thing if it's government has such a disdain for the working class.

    Or maybe the working class need to make the wealthy and overfed in Hong Kong more uncomfortable when out in public, uncomfortable enough to be a little more generous in space offered to its less financially well of.

    There is no land but there is land for 3 million more people. Clarity

    Why does Hong Kong 'need' 3 million more people ? Utter madness!

    The growth economics model really does need a swift kick in the ball sack!

    Government finds a patch of land in a prime site that apparently has been unused for 25 year.

    A family sized flat is now anchored to 280 sqft This should help bring down average flat sizes.

    They could just release more land and let the market decide
