Can't wait to go to public housing, "transition housing" will return to "subdivided housing" the next stop?

The Secretary for Transport and Housing, Chen Fan, said at a transitional housing sharing meeting earlier that the transitional housing "has been in operation for at least a few years, or even ten years or more," and the number of transitional housing will only decrease when the supply of public housing is sufficient.

In the past, the Hong Kong government resisted transitional housing, but today it has continued to build more. This change can be said to be due to the increasing number of people unable to live in peace.

To make matters worse, the residents think that they can get rid of the days of renting "subdivided housing" after moving into the transitional housing. However, many residents have recently worried about returning to the subdivided housing after the expiration of the lease and failing to transition to public housing.


This year’s policy address announced that the original promise of 15,000 transitional housing units will be increased to 20,000 in the next few years.

However, compared with the 120,000 households with poor living conditions, the 20,000 transitional houses are a drop in the bucket after all.

Officials often claim that transitional housing is easy to load and unload, and that the price is low. The quality of housing will be improved quickly. The government seems to be ruining the problem and is trying to replace public housing with transitional housing that is "as fast as possible and saves money."

Recently, the combined social housing "Nanchang 220" has become the focus of public opinion. The land temporarily borrowed from the project must be returned to the developer. Some residents are worried that they will not be allocated public housing before the end of the two-year lease, and they are worried about returning to the "subdivided housing" life.

The predicament of the "Nanchang 220" project just shows that the transitional housing project must operate smoothly to allow more families to get rid of poor housing. The government still cannot avoid speeding up the construction of public housing.

Only by going upstairs for a period of time can the grassroots avoid staying in the transitional housing phase or returning to the "subdivided housing" and "coffin housing."

In the final analysis, the transitional housing is just a product of dealing with the abundance of bad housing and the shortage of public housing, and should not always exist.

For the transition housing measure to be considered a success, the government must clearly set a date for it to end, and ten years must be too long...
