The government has finalized the construction of simple public housing on 8 sites, involving a total of 30,000 units.

Deng Jiabiao, a member of the Legislative Council of the Federation of Trade Unions, said in a radio program today (31st) that he was overjoyed with the site selection, among which 5 to 6 pieces of land had ideal traffic locations.

However, he was worried that the occupancy rate of simple public housing in remote places in the New Territories would not be high after construction. Taking Tong Xin Estate and Kong Ha Wai transitional housing in Yuen Long as examples, the response was not enthusiastic.

He believes that the government needs to spend time to ensure that the three aspects of transportation, employment and schooling in the site are properly dealt with.

Deng Jiabiao said in "Millennium" today that even if 3 of the land are located in Tuen Mun, 2 of them are located in the urban area. Therefore, he believes that the transportation of the 5 to 6 land sites selected by the government is ideal.

However, he pointed out that there are 15,000 simple public housing units in the New Territories, but citizens have little desire to live there. If it takes a lot of trouble to move to the New Territories, and then leave after a while, it will have a big impact.”

He also said that some cross-border families don’t know much about other areas, or they don’t want to leave their life circles. In addition, taking Tongxin Village and Jiangxiawei transitional housing in Yuen Long as examples, the response to occupancy is not enthusiastic, and they are worried about the simple public housing in the New Territories. After construction, the occupancy rate is not high, so I think the government needs to spend time and effort, not only to make a good introduction, but also to ensure that the three aspects of transportation, employment, and schooling in the site are properly resolved.

Deng Jiabiao believes that the government needs to spend time to ensure that the transportation, employment and schooling of the site are supported.

Shi Lishan, deputy director of the Social Association, said in the same program that simple public housing will not install air-conditioning. For example, transitional housing units without air-conditioning in the past were "funded by themselves" by the operating organization, so I hope the government can install air-conditioning for the units. "Of course it is good." .”

Cheng Wing-shun, member of the Legislative Council of the Democratic Alliance for the Betterment of Hong Kong, said that details such as the cost of simple public housing are reported to be issued by the government in a document today.

He pointed out that there are 110,000 subdivided housing units in Hong Kong, of which 20,000 are low-quality subdivided housing units. He hopes that the government's transitional housing and simple public housing units will total 50,000 units, leading citizens to a better living environment.
