Hong Kong's Housing Crisis: Struggles in Tiny, Crowded Homes

Credited from: VOANEWS

  • Housing conditions in Hong Kong are notoriously cramped, with over 200,000 individuals living in tiny sub-divided flats.
  • A recent report highlights that some residents share a single toilet and kitchen among four families, making daily life difficult.
  • The government has pledged to establish minimum space and safety standards for these homes, aiming to eliminate sub-divided flats by 2049.
  • Authorities plan to increase public housing supply to meet the demand, with over 308,000 units identified for construction in the next decade.
  • Despite initiatives, many residents still await public housing, with the backlog indicating that some have waited as long as 19 years.
