Public Flat Rental Market and Increasing Housing Supply

By admin On 2018/08/29 · Add Comment · 2,973 views
(This essay was published in Hong Kong Economic Journal on 29 August 2018.) Allowing the leasing and sub-leasing of public flats would be a significant policy change. ……. over a period of perhaps five years, a hundred thousand public flats could easily be released onto the market. This would help stem the sub-division of private flats and would provide incentive for developers to stop supplying mini-flats.

Property Rights Do Matter : Subsidized Sale Flats – Hong Kong versus Singapore

By admin On 2018/07/25 · Add Comment · 4,250 views
(This essay was published in Hong Kong Economic Journal on 25 July 2018.) When land values are so unaffordable in Hong Kong, our government must not shirk from the duty of providing a genuine discount on subsidized public sale flats. And end this nonsensical pseudo discount on user rights but not leasing and transfer rights. The “green-eyed” monsters in town should be roundly rebuked – populist envy should have no place in a civilized community.

(This essay was published in Hong Kong Economic Journal on 27 June 2018.) A development strategy cannot emerge out of a list of land supply options. ….. Given the huge shortfall of land supply, we expected government to be innovative in finding ways to speed up the regulatory approval processes so that more land could be made ready sooner. ….. Re-envisioning a more holistic development of the New Territories would complement the larger role Hong Kong will play. The conversion of agricultural land must be central to this development.

(This essay was published in Hong Kong Economic Journal on 30 May 2018.) The Housing Authority has done a remarkable job housing millions and helping many find their way to a better life.

By admin On 2018/04/25 · Add Comment · 2,742 views
(This essay was published in Hong Kong Economic Journal on 25 April 2018.) Turning public flats into homeownership flats is by far the fastest way to address our housing crisis and the myriad issues that arise from that.

An Immediate Solution to Our Housing Problem

By admin On 2018/03/28 · Add Comment · 6,688 views
(This essay was published in Hong Kong Economic Journal on 28 March 2018.) Unleashing market forces within the public housing sector means it would be necessary to privatize the public housing stock and refocus public housing policy towards homeownership. By correcting the gross misallocations of public housing resources, we can achieve a better balance between the public and private housing sectors, remedy severe housing shortages, and quickly improve the lives of a substantial portion of the population.
