The Social Democrats pointed out that the cost of "Lantau Tomorrow" and "Northern Metropolitan Area" is huge, and they are worried about whether they can cope with the simultaneous development of two large-scale projects under the contraction of the global economy.
They believe that the short-to-medium-term land supply recommendations in the Land Task Force's "Final Report" should be implemented, that is, to develop brownfields, private New Territories agricultural land and private playground lease land, and use the "Land Resumption Ordinance" to speed up the recovery of consortium agricultural land , A large number of public housing was built.
In the process of land planning, it is also opposed to streamlining the consultation process, which is considered to limit the right of citizens to express their opinions.
In terms of other "Budget" proposals, the Social Democracy League proposed to distribute 10,000 yuan in cash, establish a 6-month unemployment assistance fund, establish universal retirement protection, and introduce asset appreciation tax, property vacancy tax and land hoarding tax.
