Hong Kong "House" residents look forward to a new house policy

[Fan Lingzhi, a special reporter from the Global Times to Hong Kong] Ms. Zhao, who lives in Hong Kong Huang Daxian, has just been "retired". The clothes can only be piled up by the wall, which makes the houses of less than 10 square meters more aggressive. But Ms. Zhao is still in a good mood, because if everything goes well, she can get qualifications for public housing next month. It is no dream to move away from this place. Earlier, Li Jiachao once said that the first thing after taking office was to start with house problems, which undoubtedly caused many Hong Kong citizens to revitalize. Recently, a reporter from the Global Times entered the house of the residents of Huang Daxian District and realized the expectations of citizens to solve the problem of house problems.

Private buildings, public housing and "Tanglou"

Huang Daxian, with more than 400,000 people, is the only area in Hong Kong without the coastline. The buildings here are dense and are mainly residential. On the 20th, a reporter from the Global Times stood in Jinfeng Street Park to take pictures of the high place. The bright private building, the simple public housing and the broken "Tanglou" (a low -old building) appeared in the same screen. This is also the epitome of the people's livelihood in Hong Kong. House problems have plagued Hong Kong for decades, and recently have been the biggest source of pressure on young people, and have become a serious obstacle to social stability. Because of this, Li Jiachao's election political platform mentioned a number of houses and land policies and measures, especially the research and implementation of the "public housing plan to go upstairs", showing the determination of the Hong Kong government to solve the housing problem in the future.

Today, what is the living environment of ordinary citizens in Hong Kong? On the 20th, the Kowloon Central Service Center (hereinafter referred to as the service center) of the Hong Kong Guangxi Association, and Huang Zhihua, a specialist of Huang Daxian Civil Affairs, delivered daily necessities and epidemic prevention supplies for residents of Phoenix District. Taking this opportunity, the Global Times reporter was able to enter the resident's house. Zhao Cailong, deputy director of the service center, told reporters that sending materials to local residents is a routine activity. Within 6 days from the end of March to early April in Hong Kong, the service center uses more than 300 masterpieces to take 30,000 epidemic prevention service packages Send to the hands of each citizen.

Volunteers are preparing to distribute materials for volunteers.

There are a lot of "Tanglou" in the "building age" in the Phoenix block. The stairs of the "Tanglou" are extremely narrow. When they meet the residents who are downstairs, the volunteers who want to go upstairs are often crowded with the wall to barely pass. Although the building is old, the residents are not old. "Global Times" reporters followed the volunteers and knocked on the door, most of which were young people who opened the door. Yang Nuoxuan, a member of the Youth Activity Committee of Huang Daxian District, told reporters that because of high house prices, such "Tanglou" is often the choice of young couples to buy the first house.

Two square meters of toilet and kitchen

Although the "Tanglou" is old, for ordinary Hong Kong young people, it is already "wide" to have a whole house with a whole house with 3040 square meters. The most sighing thing is that the "Tanglou" (similar to the "Dianzilou"), which was separated by the owner in the "Tanglou", is even a few square meters of "Tongzilou"). Foundation of the city.

The narrow staircase of "Tanglou" can only be reluctant to accommodate two people through

Ms. Zhao, who was born in Sichuan, was one of the "house" residents here. She and her two daughters had rented a house less than 10 square meters, but the monthly rent was as high as HK $ 5,000. When a reporter from the Global Times entered her home, she had to move carefully, because if she was a little careless, she might encounter furniture. What impressed the reporter most was that the toilet and kitchen of the "house" were separated by a sliding door and squeezed in a space of only about 2 square meters.

"I originally had a cloth wardrobe. I was ready to change to a new cabinet until I lived in the public housing. I didn't expect that the public house had not waited, and the wardrobe was scattered. I could only put the clothes on the clothes." Although he has lived in Hong Kong for more than ten years, he still has the spicy and cheerful of Sichuan people.

Public housing (Hong Kong Public House Village) is the most common category of public houses in Hong Kong. It was built by government or volunteer groups and leased to low -income citizens. Eligible citizens apply for public housing suitable for their own conditions in accordance with detailed regulations. Due to harsh conditions and many applicants, there are many years of waiting for many years.

What is gratifying is that Ms. Zhao has finally made an echo for more than 7 years in the public housing -at the beginning of this year, her application has entered the review stage. To this end, Ms. Zhao specially posted a piece of paper on the bedside, which recorded the progress of the mixing house in May and June. She told the Global Times reporter that as soon as in July Chance.

"When Hong Kong has to reform a lot"

Public information shows that more than 85%of the residents in Huangdaxian District live in public houses. Huang Zhihua told the Global Times reporter that this proportion is the highest in Hong Kong. During the interview, the reporter could feel that for ordinary Hong Kong citizens, the quality of life will be greatly improved to apply for public housing. Mr. Li, who had previously been doing a retail business in the prince, had just entered a 37 -square -meter public housing last year. Previously, it had to bear the rent of nearly HK $ 10,000 per month. Now it only costs more than 3,000 Hong Kong dollars per month. Rui minus nearly 90%of him is precious.

"Serving community residents all year round, I feel that house problems are the biggest problem that plagues Hong Kong citizens." Zhao Cailong told the Global Times reporter an example: In 2019, he once asked some of the troubled young people "why go to the street", It turned out that many people were purely because there was no place at home. "It is likely that five or six people live in 300 feet (about 30 square meters). Of course, they are unwilling to be at home."

The urgency of solving the problem of land and houses in Hong Kong has become more prominent after the return of Hong Kong society. On the 19th, the State Council appointed the 6th government official of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region; on the same day, the Hong Kong and Macau Office of the State Council stated that it is expected that the sixth SAR government has a bigger actions in five aspects. There are more actual problems in reality, "Especially for housing problems, take out clearer goals, greater courage, and more powerful measures, and effectively solve the problems of '劏 劏' '' '' Real sense of gain. "

"Time does not wait for people." Hong Wen, a member of the Hong Kong Legislative Council, said in an interview with the Global Times reporter on the 21st that the "Perfect Storm" formed by the "Black Storm" incident in 2019, the Sino -US trade dispute, and the epidemic. When you have to adjust your thinking for a major reform. She has also captured signs of some special zone governments to speed up house problems. For example, in the second half of the year, the Legislative Council will put several amendments to the housing regulations on the agenda and streamline the procedures. What is more noteworthy is whether the uncoordinated and non -coordinated issues that have existed between various departments can be fundamentally solved.
