The cost of simple public housing is 1/3 more expensive Zheng Yongshun: It would be a pity if it cannot be reused after 5 years

The new "Policy Address" proposes the construction of simple public housing. The government has initially determined the site selection of 4 "simple public housing", which are located in Tuen Mun Area 3A, Tuen Mun Area 54, Yuen Long Yau Pok Road and Sheung Shui Liantang tail.

Zheng Yongshun, a member of the Legislative Council Housing Affairs Committee, accepted a radio interview today (30th) and was delighted that "the government has made progress", pointing out that some sites are close to the original communities and have complete supporting facilities.

He reminded the government to communicate well with local residents to avoid problems such as traffic congestion due to the increase in population in the area.

Zheng Yongshun describes the government as "buying time with money"

Cheng Wing-shun appreciated the government's urgency for the public, and believed that "simple public housing" provides upward mobility for citizens. The four sites announced at this stage are all attractive. Most of them are close to mature housing estates and have community facilities. Move in immediately after the completion of public housing.

However, he mentioned that the exact number of units has yet to be announced by the government, but after the completion of the "simple public housing", it is estimated that thousands of residents will move in. He thinks that the government must communicate with the residents in the area, so he chose Yau Pok Road, Yuen Long For example, the neighborhood is Fairview Gardens in Yuen Long, but there are only two minibus stops nearby: “The government needs to negotiate with the surrounding residents to improve the traffic, increase buses, minibuses, expand roads, and even set up franchised buses. .”

The construction time of "simple public housing" is directly proportional to the supply quantity. When asked how to choose, Zheng Yongshun believes that it depends on the overall urban planning of the site. The residents are not fair. As for the larger land in Tuen Mun, it can be built higher and more in quantity. It takes a long time to lay foundations and install lifts to build higher land, but I am glad that the government is following up the progress. Of course, it will be the best in the short term. Good." He called on the government to regard stable housing supply as a long-term goal: "No, five years (supply) will not be enough...Many citizens have housing problems, but they are not listed on the waiting list."

In addition, Zheng Yongshun noticed that the average construction cost of "simple public housing" is 900,000 yuan per unit, while the construction cost of public housing units is 600,000 yuan. housing) will be too expensive, but it may involve foundations and community facilities (expenses). I expect that simple public housing can be relocated. If it is not done for 5 years, it will be over, which is a pity." He described the government as "using money buy time".

Lai Jianguo questioned remoteness: good location is important for urban subdivision households

Lai Jianguo, a member of the Hong Kong-wide Concerned about Subdivided Housing Platform, was "very disappointed" with the four "simple public housing" sites announced in the first phase. He believed that the four sites were all remote areas, which were not attractive to urban residents of subdivided housing: "The environment is good, and the environment is good, so it attracts? No, for urban subdivided housing residents, the location is very important, the urban area is more convenient, work, children study. (simple public housing) flat, but everything has been redone Sun, the neighbors will be worried."

Lai Jianguo said that he understands that it is difficult to find a location in the urban area, so he believes that the government should increase assistance to households living in subdivided houses to protect them living in urban areas.

Lai said that it depends on whether the nearby supporting facilities are sufficient. He noticed that Area 3A in Tuen Mun is a public housing estate. If the community facilities are not sufficient, it will be unfair to public housing tenants.

In addition, he believes that the provision of transportation subsidies for residents of "simple public housing" is helpful for "mobility". "Job opportunities and reading are all positive considerations for the neighbors."
