I urgently need that information. Does anybody know? If yes, can you please let me know?

How many squatters are the in Hong Kong?

Also, if you have some references to publications, I would be eternally grateful!

Thanks a lot!

Never mind, I no longer need the information

And to the idiot who wrote "pointless post again", why don't you go buy yourself some IQ?
How would you know if it's pointless or not, since you don't know why I needed this information?

Yes, there are many. Thousands, or tens of thousands, or hundreds of thousands. On roof tops, on hill slopes, in illegal structures (some of them cement-built), etc.

roof tops i know about, used to live in To kwa Wan and every building had them but have not seen squatters on hill slopes like in the olden days for a long time, the last known squatter that i saw was in Tiu King Ling (Red Hill), even thats all gone. So which locations do they still have squatters on hill sides. Just curious.
