Xia Baolong expects to bid farewell to sub-houses in 2049

Xia Baolong, director of the Hong Kong and Macau Affairs Office of the State Council, said earlier that he hoped that Hong Kong could say goodbye to subdivided housing in 2049, and that there would be no more cage homes and subdivided housing problems in the future.

Deng Baoshan, the convenor of the Hong Kong Subdivided Housing Platform, said today (19th) that the goal proposed by Xia Baolong was correct, but he believed that the Hong Kong government had not dealt with the problem adequately in the past, and the proposed subdivided housing rent control was not a ban on subdivided housing. The goal is not optimistic.

He believes that the Hong Kong government should set a timetable for the gradual abolition of subdivided housing, and should implement the minimum housing standards, including the per capita living area and basic facilities.

Urge the government to set a timetable for banning subdivided housing to control per capita living space

In an interview with the Hong Kong and Taiwan program "Millenniums", Deng Baoshan stated that "there are too many subdivided houses in one day." He believes that Xia Baolong's goal is not wrong, but he criticized the Hong Kong government for inadequate handling of problems in the past. At present, mainland officials reminded that Hong Kong The government can face up to the problem.

He also disagrees with the rent control proposed by the government. The goal is not to ban subdivided housing. The authorities have repeatedly emphasized the value of subordinated housing.

He said that he understood that the immediate ban on subordinated housing without a resettlement plan might make many people homeless, but he believed that "the direction is not to ban subordinated housing, and (the goal) will not be achieved at all."

Deng also pointed out that the number of subdivided houses is increasing, and the government should set a timetable for the gradual ban on subdivided houses, such as banning 5,000 in a year.

He also believes that apart from the importance of public housing supply, private market control is also important. He suggested that minimum housing standards should be established, including control of per capita living area and basic facilities.

I was asked what is the chance of bidding farewell to the subdivided housing before 2049?

Deng Baoshan said frankly that he was not optimistic. He believed that the government's rent control was not strong and he was ambiguous about the initial rent.

As for whether the policy address announced in October will cover subdivided housing, Deng pointed out that the current position of the government is that it has little contact with non-governmental organizations and therefore does not understand the situation.
