It has "regressed", especially in Kwun Tong. Industrial buildings have been transformed into commercial buildings, but the community continues to change and traffic There was no progress.

In the long run, he believes that the government should start from several aspects, including conducting overall transportation strategy research and acquiring buildings for parking lots and loading/unloading spaces in traffic congested areas.
