"Apart from the public housing program, does the Hong Kong government have no plans for the future? Are they really prepared to watch so many people at the bottom of society living in pigeonholes because they can't afford to buy a house?"

Change the inhuman lives depicted in the photos! Let every Hong Kong resident have a home that truly belongs to them, with space and a private bathroom! Free millions of people! Let this new hope and productivity truly fuel Hong Kong's future prosperity!
