Chief Executive Carrie Lam Cheng Yuet-ngor announced today that it will launch a pilot program to allow people on the waiting list for public housing for more than a year to purchase the last units of the green homes.
The DAB Housing Policy Spokesman, Or Chongsheng, pointed out that this measure is barely acceptable as a stopgap measure, but it has reservations if it is regarded as a "pilot plan" for long-term implementation.
The Democratic Party’s speech on housing policy, Mo Jiancheng, pointed out that there were only more than 500 final units in the batch, and all of them were less than 200 square feet of nanometer buildings. They themselves were "difficult to sell". They criticized the new measures as "exporting techniques" and failed to be real. Help families in need.
Chief Executive Carrie Lam Cheng Yuet-ngor announced the launch of a pilot program to allow people on the waiting list for public housing for more than a year to purchase green homes.
Ke Chuangsheng explained that the original intention of Green Homes was to meet the needs of public housing tenants for home ownership, and at the same time allocate the vacated units to applicants on the waiting list to achieve a "one for one" transfer effect.
He believes that if it is proposed to set the relaxation requirement in the "waiting for one year", it will greatly increase the number of eligible applicants, cause a significant increase in the number of applicants, and reduce the chances of winning public housing tenants. This is contrary to the original policy and even attracts unintentional " People who want to go to public housing but want to buy a green house will enter the waiting list for public housing, which will affect the chance of going upstairs for those who really need it.
Ko Chongsheng pointed out that if the long-term relaxation requirement is set at the "one-year waiting list", it will greatly increase the number of eligible applicants, resulting in a substantial increase in the number of applicants, and reducing the chance of winning public housing tenants.

The DAB early suggests that the resale of subsidized housing should be tightened and the lock-up period for land premiums will be extended. It is unnecessary
Ke Chongsheng stated that currently private buildings have a three-year resale restriction due to special stamp duty (SSD). On the contrary, the subsidy housing restriction is only two years. The DAB has earlier recommended tightening the resale restriction for subsidized housing. The term of "purchase" is up to 5 years.
However, with regard to Lam Cheng’s proposal to extend the lock-up period for self-negotiated sale in the open market to 15 years after the land premium has been paid, Dr. OR thinks that it is unnecessary, because the current 10-year restriction is sufficient to restrict short-term speculation, and the original owners After deducting the land price, the actual income is not considered a "big profit", and he does not see the need for tightening.
Mo Jiancheng: The number of tail units is as small as a drop in the bucket
Mo Jiancheng pointed out that the number of rear-end units is extremely small, which is nothing short of a drop in the waiting time for public housing. He pointed out that the government’s refusal to reclaim brownfields in the New Territories on a large scale for public housing construction is one of the main reasons for the long-term shortage of public housing. It is strongly requested that the Government should try its best to recover the brownfield clusters in the New Territories to build public housing through the Land Resumption Ordinance, so as to reduce the waiting time for public housing.
In addition, of the 20,000 transitional housing units promised by the government as of last month, only about 2,000 have been completed. The "farewell to subdivided housing" at the grassroots level is like a fantasy. The government must be more active in identifying idle land for the construction of transitional housing and improvement. The living environment of people who have been waiting for public housing for a long time.
