The government plans to build a "simple public housing" in front of the Fairview Garden in Yuen Long, covering an area of about 9 hectares, which is the largest among the announced sites.
The reporter of "Hong Kong 01" found that the "clothing, food, and transportation" on the construction site were insufficient. It is expected that the prefabricated houses will be in sharp contrast with the low-density luxury houses in the future. However, there is an open channel nearby, but the ecological value is quite high, and there are egrets resting from time to time. .
Many residents feel helpless about building simple public housing in front of their homes. Some residents point out that the security of the housing estate has deteriorated in recent years, and they worry about the increase in the number of idlers in the future. They hope that the government will also care about the lives of residents in the area when solving the housing needs of the grassroots.
There are also family members of the residents who lament the incompatibility between the two, but believe that Fairview Garden is still attractive, and they are confident that it will not affect property prices.

The site of Yau Pok Road in Yuen Long covers an area of 8.9 hectares. The government pointed out that low-density prefabricated houses will be built in the future. The construction site is backed by Fairview Garden and faces the nullah. In the logistics factory, trucks and dump trucks come in and out from time to time.
There is a lack of street markets and supermarkets nearby, and the traffic is a bit inconvenient
The area around Yau Pok Road lacks basic facilities. There is a restaurant on the opposite side, and there are no other restaurants nearby. The nearest supermarket is located in Jinxiu Garden, but Jinxiu Garden is "no entry for idlers". Long, there is a minibus running between Fairview Garden and Yuen Long at the above site, but the frequency is sparse, and public transportation may need to be added in the future.
Residents: The planning is not neat, it seems a bit weird
Ms. Feng, a resident of Fairview Garden, expressed that she understands the shortage of land supply in Hong Kong, but when the government is building simple public housing in Fairview Garden, she smiled wryly: "I don't know what to say, the planning is not neat, it seems a bit weird, and it affects the appearance. Ms. Feng also pointed out that in recent years, there have been more idlers in Splendid Garden, and the public security problem is troublesome. She believes that while the government solves the grassroots housing problem, it must avoid affecting the lives of residents in the area.
Ms. Liu would occasionally visit her father in Splendid Gardens. She was surprised by the government's decision. She admitted that the simple public housing "doesn't match" with the surrounding environment. However, she pointed out that Fairview Garden is competitive, and she believes that this will not affect property prices.
