Hong Kong considers 50:50 split for public housing and sale flats

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

Hong Kong's housing minister, Winnie Ho, is seeking public opinion on potentially adjusting the ratio of public rental flats to subsidized sale homes to a 50:50 split. This move follows a proposal to shift from the current 70:30 ratio to 60:40, as outlined in Chief Executive John Lee's policy address. The government aims to provide a total of 196,000 public housing units over the next five years, with the goal of addressing long waiting lists for rental housing while also increasing options for home ownership.
