Resident representatives stressed that they were not opposed to the simple public housing policy, but only opposed to Kai Tak's simple public housing, and believed that the problem was that it violated procedural justice and overall community planning.
One of the resident representatives, Ms. Huang, believes that the government should consult the residents in advance. Many new housing estates have been completed, but the supporting facilities are far from sufficient, and there are concerns about the overload in the area: "Yijia will put another 30,000 to 40,000 people here. In fact, the community is already too loaded."
Residents: Explain that there is no simple public housing in Central, but our land has?
Ms. Zhou, a resident representative, also pointed out that the government made a hasty decision this time, and the section was originally a relatively high land price, but now it is used to build simple public housing, and the planning has gone wrong. She thinks that the Hong Kong government should listen to public opinion.
The government has always claimed that Kai Tak is the second core development area after Central. Mr. Li, a resident, said bluntly, "I don't understand that there is no simple public housing in Central, but there is one in my land?" The overall planning is chaotic: "We moved in in 2017 and said there would be a Tuen Ma Line in 2018, but it was too late. We planned to have a monorail, but it was cancelled. Frankly speaking, we were a little disappointed with the government."
Member of the Legislative Council Yang Yongjie recently launched a rally to oppose the site selection of Shiyun Road, but announced his withdrawal the next day.
The resident representatives, Ms. Ye and Mr. Li, expressed their disappointment. Ms. Ye believed that everyone had the same idea, but Yang canceled the action on behalf of the residents. Ask if we all feel the same way.” She pointed out that the resident representatives had met with Yang Yongjie and asked him why he canceled the rally.
