(A) profit tax will up from the current level of 16.5%

[mengfei]

80% of HK will be Mandarinized

HKD = RMB 1:1

[aw451]

We will continue down the path we are currently on, cooler heads will not prevail.

Home prices drop 10-20% under a steady interest rate and oversupply of units

[East_coast]

HKSAR Flag will be 'retired' from daily use

80% of HK will be Mandarinized

i feel like this issue is overblown. Guangdong uses Putonghua as its national language, but Cantonese has not died out. People still speak their home dialect whether it be Shanghainese, Sichuan, Wenzhou. There's no chance of these dying out. Likewise, HK isn't losing its Cantonese because of Beijing government.
Hell, even Taiyu in Taiwan couldn't be wiped out despite all the KMT attempts.

HK just needs to accept this and get on with learning Mandarin.

Hong Kong will survive despite whatever the government (north and south) does

[nivek2046]

(C) one or two football players will join as quality migrant in 2025.

(D) Some American singer(s) will perform in Kai Tak

[Hkemail888]

*more “talent” will come pretending that it’s because HK is so wonderful when they’re only coming because of the tax incentives no capital gain etc
*more “talent” from mainland coming that’s not really talent eg ending up selling / pushing investment linked insurance policy scams
*a new big/girl band in HK with a silly name like stellar or power

There will be free democratic elections in China.

Hong Kong will become part of the the Mega Pearl Delta region with Macau.

All taxis in HK will allow electronic payments.

HK government will issue proper driving licences rather than laminating them.

Faxes will be phased out.

Coins will be phased out.

Bitcoin will replace HKD.

Who knows.

I was with you until you said faxes would be phased out. Totally impossible.
