The government has finalized 8 sites for the construction of simple public housing, of which Kai Tak World Fortune Road can provide more than 10,000 units.

Kowloon District Councilor (Kai Tak Central and South) Zhang Jingxun said on a radio program today (31st) that he is very opposed to the construction of simple public housing in Kai Tak, which will have a negative impact on Kai Tak's community resources and traffic load.

He said bluntly, "Why do we use the land planned by us in Kai Tak every time for other purposes?" He also questioned whether the simple public housing can be returned to Kai Tak for other planning after 5 years.


Huang Danqing, vice-chairman of the Tuen Mun District Council, also believes that the arrangement of Siu Lam Le is not suitable for the construction of simple public housing. Have a long-term plan, "Does the government start as soon as it has land?"

The population of simple public housing is larger than that of private housing or HOS

Zhang Jingxun expressed in Hong Kong and Taiwan's "Millennium" today that he is very opposed to the construction of simple public housing in Kai Tak. Recently, he has received feedback from many residents. He criticized the government's lack of consultation in the area, "This is the first time that there is sudden information. He also pointed out that the number of simple public housing units is more than other locations, and it is a high-density residence. There is such a large population", plus the traditional public housing that will be built later.

He believes that the current population density is already high. This will not only have a negative impact on Kai Tak’s community resources and traffic load, but will also increase property prices. At the same time, it will cause injustice to residents who buy properties in Kai Tak. It is very contrary to the original plan.”

Or conflict with Kai Tak transitional housing

Zhang said that Kai Tak World Fortune Road was originally used for commercial purposes, "in fact, it can be used better." He didn't understand "the reason is that every time we will take the land planned by us in Kai Tak for other purposes." He said Although he understands that the construction of simple public housing will help solve the housing problem, he wonders, "Is this land 5 years from now, can it be returned to Kai Tak for other plans?"

He pointed out that there are already two transitional housing in Kai Tak, which are similar in nature to simple public housing, and there is a conflict between the two. If the public chooses simple public housing in the future, it will also affect the operators of transitional housing.

He hopes that the government will consult with the district before deciding to build simple public housing.

Tuen Mun district councilor questioned building as long as there is land

Huang Danqing said in the same program, "It's a big deal to hear the news." Two traditional public housing units in Tuen Mun have already been occupied, and three pieces of land are under construction. They think that the arrangement of Xiao Lam Le is not suitable for the construction of simple public housing.

Worried about increasing the population burden in the future, coupled with the fact that the traffic on the Qingshan Highway has been criticized by people, it may become even more difficult in the future.

He questioned that the government did not have a long-term plan, "Does the government start as soon as there is land?" He also pointed out, can the simple public housing be continued in the future?

Do community facilities need to be built?

These issues must be considered.
