Think tank survey: 53% agree that the Hong Kong government should subsidize the boarding

Hong Kong’s housing prices are fine and expensive. Many Hong Kong people are even hard to find a head. The other side of the “Land Debate” consultation ended at the end of next month. A think tank organization announced the housing survey yesterday. It turned out that Hong Kong people were more pessimistic about the prospects of home ownership. 10 out of a total score of 3.87 points, down 0.43 points compared with similar surveys three years ago. More than half of the respondents thought that the Hong Kong Government should subsidize the general income of Hong Kong people to buy property. “Let them become owners once in their lives.” The think tank believes that the price of public housing should be completely decoupled from the price of the public, lowering the income ceiling of eligible applicants and assisting the public to get on the train.

“Future @Hong Kong” entrusted Lingnan University to visit 1048 people aged 18 or above from 23 to 31 last month to learn about their views on housing needs, government responsibility for housing, subsidized first homes, and urban renewal. The survey results show that 85% of the people agree that the Government has the responsibility to make Hong Kong people buy or rent flats; 53% agree that the Hong Kong Government has the responsibility to subsidize the general income of Hong Kong people.

Shi Yongqing’s first cap is high

In recent years, private property prices have become more and more expensive, and the price of HOS flats has often hit new highs. The price of white watches has reached 13,000 to 14,000 yuan or even higher. The Singapore housing policy that Hong Kong people have always envied is aimed at helping the people buy their own homes. Singapore has built more than 1 million public housing units ( HDB flats) since the 1960s. According to the Housing Development Board of the country, 82% of the citizens lived in HDBs last year. 94% of the flats were purchased. 6% is rented, and the HDB is not only large in size, but also sold at a much lower price than Hong Kong’s HOS flats.

On average income, Hong Kong people and Sin Chew people are not much different. The living environment of the two places is very different. How should Hong Kong solve it? Shi Yongqing, a member of the “Future@Hong Kong” and chairman and president of the Central Plains Group, believes that if the Hong Kong Government is determined to help the home buyers, the additional expenditure involved is limited. “The property price is high, most of which is due to the high land price.” In flooding, it is necessary for the Administration to make a determination to collect less land prices to meet the supply target; the price from the URA project to the first car should be linked to the construction cost. The income ceiling is now set at 57,000 to 70,000 per month. The level of the yuan is too high to benefit the people who really need it. According to the latest statistics from the Census and Statistics Department, the monthly income of $50,000 to $80,000 is only 14.5%.

Housing prospects drop

“Future @Hong Kong” also announced the results of the Hong Kong people’s survey on “Hong Kong Housing Prospects”. The score of 10 points was only 3.87 points. The “satisfaction of housing needs” was also 0.46 points lower than that of 3 years ago. Only 3.53 was recorded. Minute.

The spokesman for the shadow long-term strategy committee, Mr Chan Siu-ming, said that the demand for home ownership in Hong Kong was “made”. For example, some polls and property prices have repeatedly broken new high-profile information. This has caused people to “rise and stop”. It is necessary for the Hong Kong Government to protect the public’s right to reside, such as providing more public housing, but not for the public to buy flats.
