The housing problem in Hong Kong has never been limited to subdivided housing.
Subdivided housing is only one of the complications. High property prices, land policies, and planning issues all need to be improved.
Ding Quan is one of the issues that has been discussed repeatedly but has not yet been resolved. The Heung Yee Kuk must consider the irregularities of the current small house policy and study how to make specific suggestions to transform the small house policy into a constructive model that will help Hong Kong’s long-term peace and stability. , Not like an ostrich, holding the Basic Law and saying that it will remain unchanged for 50 years.

Guo Zhuojian, known as the King of Cheung Chau Review, challenged the small house policy with social worker Lu Zhiheng a few years ago and filed a judicial review. The High Court once ruled a partial victory, and then the three parties involved appealed.
Earlier this year, the Court of Appeal overturned the judgment of the Court of First Instance and ruled that the government and Heung Yee Kuk won the case.
The controversy seems to be back to square one
We can't help asking, when many people live in sub-district houses with poor conditions and have been unable to get public housing after years of hard work, why is it fair for a group of people to have a small house of 2,100 square feet for granted?
Is it reasonable?
Hu Enwei will analyze the Ding Quan issue for everyone in this article.
