Guo Jihui: Many developers support increasing the supply of housing from all walks of life
When asked what problems occurred in Hong Kong’s housing policy in the past that led to the current housing problems, Kuo Jihui believed that it was more or less "not good luck". After the former Chief Executive Tung Chee-hwa launched the "85 thousand" housing plan, the financial turmoil and the "SARS", the development of new towns was almost stopped between 1998 and 2008. Later, due to council and mechanism problems, the progress of the development of Hung Shui Bridge, Kwu Tung North and Fanling North was slow. There will be no new towns until 2024 at the earliest. A group of residents entered.
He believes that Hong Kong has missed ten years of prime time, but believes that as long as the whole society focuses on the problem, with the determination and innovative thinking of the government, the housing problem can be greatly improved.
Guo Jihui mentioned that anyone who sees the problem of subdivided housing will be very worried. He emphasized that many developers are very willing to support increasing the supply of housing for different classes, including public housing, home ownership, first-home buyers, and even 5,000 yuan. One-foot youth house.
He said that as long as everyone works together to solve the problem, the government will launch a "win-win" plan such as the Land Sharing Pilot Program, and everyone will be happy to participate.
