The interests of the people are based on the interests of the citizens.” He also pointed out that the grassroots citizens are living in inappropriate environments every day, and the Town Planning Board is processing the application for rezoning part of the Fanling Golf Course to build public housing, but some of them are Oppose on the grounds of "I want to fight waves".

In the same program, Shi Lishan pointed out that grassroots citizens have great demand for transitional housing, but NGOs are responsible for the construction. She described: "It's like asking them to act as architects", so I hope the government can take more responsibility. Operated by NGOs.

She also hopes that the lease term can be extended to prevent residents from moving out before they get to public housing.

Shi Lishan also criticized that the current minimum wage is only 37.5 yuan per hour, and the purchasing power is only 27 yuan after deducting inflation; even if the minimum wage is raised to 40 yuan, the purchasing power is only 27.4 yuan.
